Abstract

AbstractThe aim of the Ionosphere Prediction Service (IPS) project is to design and develop a prototype platform to translate the prediction and forecast of the ionosphere effects into a service customized for specific GNSS user communities. The project team is composed by Telespazio (coordinator), Nottingham Scientific Ltd, Telespazio Vega Deutschland, the University of Nottingham, the University of Rome “Tor Vergata” and the Italian Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV). The IPS development is conceived of two concurrent activities: prototype service design and development & research activity that will run along the whole project. Service design and development is conceived into four phases: user requirements collection, architecture specification, implementation and validation of the prototype. A sub-activity analyses also the integration feasibility in the Galileo Service center, located in Madrid. The research activity is the scientific backbone of IPS that will provide the models and algorithms for the forecasting products.

Highlights

  • The ionospheric fluctuations are the largest contributor to the error budget for GNSS receivers [1, 2]

  • The Ionosphere Prediction Service (IPS) development is conceived of two concurrent activities: the design and development of the prototype service and the research activity that will run along the whole project

  • The main products are related to Solar and Space-Weather Monitoring, Ionosphere weather monitoring and forecasting and receivers performance monitoring and they are complemented with specific aviation related receiver performance figures
