Description

Technical Field

[0002] The ionosphere is a key medium affecting satellite navigation, communication systems, and space environment monitoring. Accurate modeling of its spatiotemporal variation characteristics is crucial for high-precision applications.

Based on these sparse stations, traditional modeling methods (such as spherical harmonic function modeling or polynomial fitting) can characterize the large-scale spatiotemporal distribution of the ionospheric TEC, but are limited by station density and data sampling rate, making it difficult to resolve the small- to medium-scale ionospheric structure at the level of hundreds of meters to kilometers and minutes to hours.

[0003] In recent years, the demand for geological disaster monitoring and urban safety early warning has surged. However, new data sources also face two major challenges: inconsistent data quality and massive computational complexity.

[0004] The terms used in this invention specification are explained as follows:

[0049] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the system structure for constructing a high spatiotemporal resolution ionospheric model using dense GNSS deformation stations provided in this embodiment of the invention. Detailed Implementation

[0050] It should be noted that:

[0051] The accelerated construction of dense GNSS deformation monitoring networks has provided an unprecedented data foundation for building high spatiotemporal resolution ionospheric models. However, new data sources face two major challenges: inconsistent data quality and massive computational complexity. Therefore, there is an urgent need to overcome the limitations of traditional modeling frameworks and develop novel ionospheric modeling methods that balance data quality control and computational efficiency optimization.

[0052] Based on the aforementioned situation, this invention provides a method for constructing a high spatiotemporal resolution ionospheric model. By using data from existing large-scale dense GNSS deformation network monitoring stations for calculation, the constructed high spatiotemporal resolution ionospheric model can resolve the small- and medium-scale ionospheric structures, and achieves the added value effect of data without increasing construction costs.

[0053] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention. In addition, the technical features of the various embodiments or individual embodiments provided by the present invention can be arbitrarily combined to form new technical solutions. Such combinations are not bound by the order of steps and / or structural composition patterns, but must be based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.

[0054] This invention provides a method for constructing a high spatiotemporal resolution ionospheric model using dense GNSS deformation stations. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 1 This includes the following steps:

[0055] Step 1. Collect dual-frequency observation data and broadcast ephemeris data from dense GNSS stations within the modeling area. The observation data consists of pseudorange and phase observations recorded by the receiver after receiving electromagnetic wave signals emitted by the satellite.

[0056] Step 2. Conduct preliminary data quality analysis, with the main indicators being multipath effect, cycle slip ratio, and data effectiveness. After the preliminary data quality analysis, delete low-quality arc segments.

[0057] Specifically, the multipath effect, cycle slip ratio, and data effectiveness are all set with corresponding preset values. When any of these indicators fails to meet the preset value, the observation segment is considered low-quality and is deleted. The preset values ​​for multipath effect, cycle slip ratio, and data effectiveness can be preset based on actual conditions or empirical values.

[0058] Step 3. Download the product from the internet to obtain the GNSS broadcast ephemeris, precise ephemeris, and satellite DCB, and use the PPP method to estimate the receiver's DCB.

[0059] Step 4. Calculate the frequency difference to obtain the geometrically inverse combination (P4 observation), and subtract the receiver and satellite DCB obtained in Step 3 to obtain the slant path STEC.

[0060] 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, the satellite elevation angle and azimuth angle at the penetration point, and use a projection function to convert STEC into VTEC in the vertical direction. Because the ionosphere is assumed to be a thin layer, the intersection of the satellite signal and the thin layer is the penetration point.

[0061] Step 6. Divide the modeling area into grids, and eliminate errors by averaging the VTEC values ​​of all puncture points falling in each grid to obtain the TEC values.

[0062] Preferably, the method further includes:

[0063] Step 7. Treat the grid cells where no puncture point falls as empty grid cells and fill them with the values ​​of neighboring grid cells.

[0064] As a preferred embodiment, the method for constructing a high spatiotemporal resolution ionospheric model using dense GNSS deformation stations provided in this invention comprises the following steps:

[0065] (1) Collect dual-frequency observation data (L1 / L2 frequency) and broadcast ephemeris from dense GNSS stations across the country.

[0066] (2) Perform preliminary quality analysis on the data and calculate the multipath effect, cycle slip ratio and data effectiveness. Based on the quality analysis results, delete the observation arcs with significant multipath effect (less than 0.8), low cycle slip ratio (e.g., less than 200) or low data effectiveness (less than 80%), and retain high-quality data for subsequent processing.

[0067] (3) Download satellite DCB products from the International GNSS Service (IGS) or other authoritative organizations to obtain satellite DCB values. Obtain GNSS broadcast ephemeris and precise ephemeris from the downloaded products, and use the precise point positioning (PPP) method to estimate the DCB of each GNSS station receiver (this technology is existing technology); the strategy adopted is: fix the satellite orbit, satellite clock error and satellite DCB, use non-difference non-combined observations, use the Klobuchar model as the virtual observation of the ionosphere, and use the station coordinates, tropospheric delay and DCB as parameters to be estimated.

[0068] (4) Calculate the geometrically insensitive combination (P4 observations) using dual-frequency observation data:

[0069]

[0070] in, and The phase-smoothed pseudorange observations are for frequencies L1 and L2, respectively. Without geometric range combination, the receiver DCB and satellite DCB are subtracted to obtain the total electron content (STEC) along the slant path:

[0071] STEC = P4 – DCBrec - DCBsat

[0072] (5) Based on the thin-layer assumption, calculate the location (latitude and longitude) of the satellite signal penetration point in the thin layer, and the satellite elevation angle and azimuth angle at the penetration point. Use a projection function (such as a single-layer model projection function) to convert the oblique path STEC into a vertical VTEC:

[0073] VTEC = STEC·cos(z')

[0074] Where (z') is the zenith distance of the single-layer ionospheric model.

[0075] (6) Construct a national TEC grid model: Draw regular grid points (e.g., 0.5°×0.5° resolution) across the country; for each grid, count the VTEC observations of all puncture points falling within the grid, and take the average value as the TEC value of that grid point. Grids without any puncture points are null grids.

[0076] (7) Use the VTEC of the grid around the null grid (e.g., 100km) to interpolate the null grid (e.g., using the inverse distance weighting method) to eliminate the null grid.

[0077] The implementation of the various embodiments of this invention is based on programmed processing by a device with processor functionality. Therefore, in practical engineering, the technical solutions and functions of the various embodiments of this invention are encapsulated into various modules. Based on this reality, and building upon the above embodiments, the embodiments of this invention provide a system for constructing a high spatiotemporal resolution ionospheric model using dense GNSS deformation stations.

[0079] The present invention provides a high spatiotemporal resolution ionospheric model system for dense GNSS deformation stations. This system addresses the challenge of resolving small- to medium-scale ionospheric structures, and the current situation where new data sources suffer from inconsistent data quality and extremely high computational complexity.
