The ionosphere, a part of upper atmosphere, plays an important role on the propagation of radio waves. Hence, understanding, remote sensing and monitoring of the ionospheric phenomena can provide a compressive description to the physical process that are affected by the behavior of ionosphere. One of descriptive quantity of ionosphere is Total Electron Content (TEC). TEC is the total number of electrons integrated between two points and characterized by observing carrier phase delays of received radio signals transmitted from satellites located above the ionosphere, often using Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites. In this study, TEC is predicted from TEC estimates obtained from GPS network located in Turkey in space and time using an Adaptive Data Fusion Technique (ADF). It is observed that characteristic distributions of the predict TEC and original TEC values are similar with each other. Mean Square Errors are less than 4 TECU. ADF has a high performance for the spatio-temporal prediction when the results are compared with the techniques used in the related studies in the literature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
