RT-IDA3D: Towards a Real-Time Computerized Ionospheric Tomography System Suitable as Input to Ionospheric Data Assimilation Models

Abstract

The main objectives of this project are to 1) add new data sources to the existing IDA3D algorithm, including GPS occultation data, EUV limb-scan data, and DMSP in-situ data; 2) port the existing IDL code to FORTRAN-90 and get it running on the ARL:UT test beowulf cluster; 3) make the algorithm truly global with an irregular adaptive grid; 4) add a predictive model option for the background model; and 5) make it real-time.
