Abstract

Radio occultation (RO) provides a cost-effective component of the overall sensor mix required to characterise the ionosphere over wide areas and in areas where it is not possible to deploy ground sensors. The paper provides a description of the RO constellation that has been developed and deployed by Spire Global. This constellation and its associated ground infrastructure is now producing data that can be used to characterise the bulk ionosphere, lower ionosphere perturbations and ionospheric scintillation.

用尖塔无线电掩星星座探测电离层

无线电掩星(RO)为整个传感器组合提供了一个具有成本效益的组成部分，需要在广泛的区域和不可能部署地面传感器的区域表征电离层。本文介绍了Spire Global开发和部署的RO星座。这个星座及其相关的地面基础设施现在正在产生数据，可以用来描述电离层的总体特征、电离层扰动和电离层闪烁。
