Resolution Enhanced of GRBR Observation-Based Ionospheric Tomography in Indonesia

Abstract

An ionospheric tomography reconstruction using Algebraic Reconstruction Technique (ART) method has been successfully carried out recently. Data utilized on this work was a campaign-based Gnu-Radio Beacon Receiver (GRBR) observation in West Java during 8-10 November 2016 and 25-29 September 2017 data. Grid resolution of the tomography previously had been increased in the in the latitudinal (0.5o horizontal direction) and altitude (~25 km in vertical direction) scales. Although the quality of the tomography has also met a compatibility level through the correlation analysis (e.g. 85% of correlation coefficient), the computation result should be improved in order to get the best value of bias frequency (i.e. < 1 MHz). Through this opportunity, the result of the tomography within the grid resolution of 0.5o and ~25 km for the latitude and altitude respectively is presented.
