High-order ionospheric effects on electron density estimation from Fengyun-3C GPS radio occultation [PDF]
GPS radio occultation can estimate ionospheric electron density and total electron content (TEC) with high spatial resolution, e.g., China's recent Fengyun-3C GPS radio occultation. However, high-order ionospheric delays are normally ignored.
