Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of space ionosphere environment monitoring, and particularly relates to an ionosphere tomography method based on vertical measurement data constraint in the field.
Background
The ionosphere, which is an important component of the space-day environment, has effects of refraction, reflection, scattering, absorption and the like on radio waves passing through the ionosphere, so that the performance of various radio information systems such as satellite navigation, communication, radar and the like is affected. The method utilizes various technical means to obtain the characteristic parameters of the ionized layer and research various phenomena in the ionized layer, thereby revealing the physical mechanism behind the ionized layer, and having important scientific, even political, military and economic significance. Among many characteristic parameters of the ionosphere, the ionosphere electron density is the most critical detection parameter, and the mastering of the time-space variation characteristics and rules thereof has important practical value for improving the performance of a radio information system, so that the accurate acquisition of the ionosphere electron density becomes one of the key directions of concern in the ionosphere research field of various countries in the world gradually, and the very important means for acquiring the ionosphere electron density is the ionosphere tomography technology.
With the deep ionosphere model research and the rapid improvement of the computer hardware performance, especially with the development of the satellite ionosphere detection technology, the ionosphere Tomography (Computerized ionosphere Tomography) technology has made great progress in the aspects of theoretical methods and applications in view of the current forecast requirements of different service guarantees on ionosphere parameters. The most typical technical result in the direction of ionospheric tomography is a multi-hand ionospheric tomography system MIDAS (Multi Instrument Data Analysis System) developed by Bath university in UK, the system introduces the latest international ionospheric tomography result, has very high operation stability and inversion accuracy, and can provide information of ionospheric TEC and electron density distribution in a large range of areas.
The major data sources for ionospheric tomography today are ground-based LEO beacon receivers and ground-based GNSS receivers. The ground-based LEO beacon receiver is mainly applied to two-dimensional ionosphere tomography, and the GNSS data is mainly applied to the field of three-dimensional ionosphere tomography. Three-dimensional ionospheric tomography is significantly different from two-dimensional ionospheric tomography in terms of measurement view angle, spatial coverage of observation data, angular velocity of CT scanning, error source of measurement TEC, number of unknowns to be solved, and the like, and three-dimensional ionospheric tomography is not a simple extension of two-dimensional ionospheric tomography in spatial dimension, and therefore three-dimensional ionospheric tomography needs to adopt a solution strategy different from that of two-dimensional ionospheric tomography. Particularly, due to the fact that the orbit height of the GNSS satellite is high, for a certain specific area, ray paths corresponding to most observation data are in a near-vertical direction compared with a CT imaging grid, and according to the ionospheric tomography theory, the vertical resolution which can be achieved by the ground-based GNSS imaging is low, that is, the ionospheric peak value accuracy obtained by inversion is poor.
