Combining Ionosonde and GPS TEC Data to Assess NeQuick Formulation

The main topic which was investigated during the mission is related to the validation of the NeQuick model using different data sets. The discussions were based on former work dealing with the comparison of the first version of the model recommended by the ITU-R and its second version recently published. In addition the NeQuick formulation and its physical behaviour were discussed considering the bottomside and topside representations and the interaction between both. This will constitute the basis for future investigation of ingestion techniques using NeQuick as well as the ionospheric correction algorithm for Galileo single frequency users.
