Abstract

The chapter describes methodology of ionospheric TEC reconstruction based on double frequency and single-frequency measurements of carrier phase and code delay of GNSS signals. Typical ionospheric scintillation indices such as ROTI, S4 and σφ are considered and its computation procedures described. New ionospheric scintillation index which is the second order derivative of the carrier phase (d2φ index) is introduced. The problem of the scintillation indices sensitivity is discussed depending on the primary data time. We demonstrate that 10 Hz data time rate is necessary at least to detect weak small scale ionospheric disturbances.
