Three Dimensional High-Resolution Reconstruction of the Ionosphere Over the Very Large Array

Abstract

The goal of the proposed research is reconstruct the three-dimensional regional electron density profile of Earth's ionosphere with spatial resolution of better than 10 km and sub-minute temporal resolution. We intend to combine data from traditional sources (GPS) with data from the Very Large Array(VLA) has ~10x better sensitivity to total electron content (TEC, or chord integrated density) in the ionosphere that does GPS. The proposal funds the research efforts of a graduate student.
