On the Feasibility of Interhemispheric Patch Detection Using Ground-Based GNSS Measurements
Dual-frequency GNSS data processing is currently one of the most useful techniques for sounding the ionosphere. Hence, this work was aimed at the evaluation of ground-based GNSS data for the continuous monitoring of polar patches in both hemispheres.
