[0002] The ionosphere is a key medium that influences satellite navigation, communication systems, and space environment monitoring. Accurate modeling of its spatiotemporal variations is crucial for high-precision applications. Traditional ionospheric modeling relies primarily on GNSS observation data provided by the Continuously Operating Reference Station (CORS) network. Based on these sparsely populated sites, traditional modeling methods (such as spherical harmonics modeling or polynomial fitting) can characterize the large-scale spatiotemporal distribution of ionospheric TEC. However, due to limitations in site density and data sampling rate, they struggle to resolve small- and medium-scale ionospheric structures, such as those at the hundred-meter to kilometer and minute to hour scales.

[0003] In recent years, with the surge in demand for geological disaster monitoring and urban safety warning, new data sources also face two major challenges: uneven data quality and the complexity of ultra-large-scale computing.

[0004] The terms involved in the description of the present invention are explained as follows: DCB: Differential Code Bias, differential code deviation; GNSS: Global Navigation Satellite System CORS: Continuous Operational Reference System, continuously operating reference station system; CMONOC: Crustal Movement Observation Network of China, China Tectonic Environment Monitoring Network; PPP: Precise Point Positioning, precise single point positioning; TEC: Total Electronic Content, total electronic content; VTEC / Vertical TEC: Vertical Total Electron Content, vertical total electron content; STEC / Slant Path TEC: Slant Total Electron Content, slant path total electron content. Summary of the Invention

The Klobuchar model is used as the virtual ionospheric observation value, and the site coordinates, tropospheric delay and DCB are used as the parameters to be estimated.

[0010] As a further technical solution, the formula for the oblique path TEC is obtained as follows: STEC = P4 – DCBrec - DCBsat Among them, P4 represents the geometry-free distance combination, DCBrec represents the DCB at the receiver end, and DCBsat represents the satellite end receiver.

Obviously, the drawings described below are some embodiments of the present invention.

[0020] It should be noted that: The accelerated construction of dense GNSS deformation monitoring networks has provided an unprecedented data foundation for building high-temporal and spatial resolution ionospheric models. However, this new data source faces two major challenges: uneven data quality and extremely large-scale computational complexity. Therefore, there is an urgent need to overcome the limitations of traditional modeling frameworks and develop new ionospheric modeling methods that balance data quality control and computational efficiency.

[0021] Based on the above-mentioned situation, the present invention provides a method for constructing an ionospheric model with high temporal and spatial resolution. The method uses data from existing large-scale dense GNSS deformation network monitoring stations for calculation. The constructed ionospheric model with high temporal and spatial resolution can analyze the small and medium-scale ionospheric structure and achieve the value-added effect of data without increasing the construction cost.

[0022] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention. In addition, the technical features in the various embodiments or single embodiments provided by the present invention are arbitrarily combined with each other to form a new technical solution. This combination is not restricted by the sequence of steps and / or structural composition mode, but must be based on the ability of ordinary technicians in this field to implement it. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that this combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present invention.

[0023] The present invention provides a method for constructing a high temporal and spatial resolution ionospheric model using dense GNSS deformation stations. Figure 1 , including the following steps: Step 1. Collect dual-frequency observation data and broadcast ephemeris from densely populated GNSS stations within the modeling area. The observation data is the pseudorange and phase observation values ​​recorded by the receiver after the electromagnetic wave signal emitted by the satellite reaches the receiver.

[0024] Step 2. Perform a preliminary data quality analysis, with the main indicators being multipath effect, cycle slip ratio, and data efficiency. After the preliminary data quality analysis, delete low-quality arcs.

[0025] Specifically, preset values ​​are set for the multipath effect, cycle slip ratio, and data efficiency. If any of these indicators does not meet the preset values, the observation segment is considered to be of low quality and is deleted. The preset values ​​for the multipath effect, cycle slip ratio, and data efficiency can be set based on actual conditions or empirical values.

[0026] Step 3. Obtain GNSS broadcast ephemeris, precise ephemeris, and satellite DCB from online download products, and estimate the receiver DCB using the PPP method.

[0027] Step 4. Obtain the geometry-free range combination (P4 observation) by frequency difference calculation. Subtract the DCB of the receiver and satellite obtained in step 3 to obtain the slant path STEC.

[0028] Step 5. Based on the thin layer assumption, calculate the location (latitude and longitude) of the satellite signal's penetration point in the thin layer, as well as the satellite's altitude and azimuth at the penetration point. Use a projection function to convert STEC to vertical VTEC. Because the ionosphere is assumed to be a thin layer, the intersection of the satellite signal and the thin layer is the penetration point.

[0029] Step 6. Divide the modeling area into grids and eliminate the error by averaging the VTEC of all puncture points falling in each grid to obtain the TEC value.

[0030] Preferably, the method further comprises: Step 7. Grids without puncture points are treated as empty grids and filled with values ​​from adjacent grids.

[0031] As a preferred embodiment, the method for constructing a high temporal and spatial resolution ionospheric model using dense GNSS deformation stations provided in the embodiment of the present invention has the following specific process: (1) Collect dual-frequency observation data (L1 / L2 frequency) and broadcast ephemeris from densely populated GNSS stations across the country.

[0032] (2) Perform a preliminary quality analysis of the data and calculate the multipath effect, cycle slip ratio, and data efficiency. Based on the quality analysis results, remove observation arcs with significant multipath effect (less than 0.8), low cycle slip ratio (e.g., less than 200), or low data efficiency (less than 80%), and retain high-quality data for subsequent processing.

[0033] (3) Download satellite DCB products from the International GNSS Service (IGS) or other authoritative organizations to obtain the DCB value of the satellite. Obtain GNSS broadcast ephemeris and precise ephemeris from the products downloaded online, and use the precise point positioning (PPP) method to estimate the DCB of each GNSS station receiver (this technology is currently available). The strategy adopted is: fix the satellite orbit, satellite clock error, and satellite DCB, use non-differenced non-combined observations, use the Klobuchar model as the ionospheric virtual observation value, and use the station coordinates, tropospheric delay, and DCB as the parameters to be estimated.

[0034] (4) Calculate the geometry-free distance combination (P4 observation) using dual-frequency observation data:

[0035] in, and The phase-smoothed pseudorange observations at the L1 and L2 frequencies are obtained by deducting the DCB of the receiver and the DCB of the satellite from the geometry-free range combination to obtain the slant path total electron content (STEC): STEC = P4 – DCBrec - DCBsat (5) Based on the thin layer assumption, calculate the position (latitude and longitude) of the satellite signal's penetration point in the thin layer, the satellite altitude angle and azimuth at the penetration point. Use a projection function (such as the single-layer model projection function) to convert the oblique path STEC into the vertical direction VTEC: VTEC = STEC·cos(z') where (z') is the zenith distance of the ionosphere single-layer model.

[0036] (6) Construct a national TEC grid model: Draw a regular grid of points across the country (e.g., 0.5° × 0.5° resolution). For each grid, count the VTEC observations of all puncture points that fall within the grid, and take the average value as the TEC value of that grid point. Grids with no puncture points are considered null grids.

[0037] (7) Use the VTEC of the grids around the null grid (e.g., 100 km) to interpolate the null grid (e.g., using the inverse distance weighted method) to eliminate the null grid.

[0038] The implementation of each embodiment of the present invention is based on programmed processing performed by a device with processor functionality. Therefore, in practical engineering, the technical solutions and functions of each embodiment of the present invention are encapsulated into various modules.
