The conical fit approach to modeling ionospheric total electron content

The Global Positioning System (GPS) can be used to measure the integrated electron density along raypaths between satellites and receivers. Such measurements may, in turn, be used to construct regional and global maps of the ionospheric total electron content (TEC). Maps are generated by fitting measurements to an assumed ionospheric model.

An assessment of the current WAAS algorithm in the South American region

In this paper, we use a network of 230 GPS receivers worldwide, each equipped with dual-frequency GPS receivers. We assessed the WAAS's planar fit algorithm in the equatorial region where the spatial gradients and the absolute slant TEC are known to be the highest in the world.

A study of the refractivity bias in occultation retrievals using end-to-end simulations

Direct Methanol Fuel Cells in portable applications are expected to provide substantially higher energy density and longer operating times over advanced batteries. The time threshold of advantage of using a fuel cell instead of a battery is almost independent of the power level, and is determined by the power density of the fuel cell and its operating efficiency.
