In this research paper presents the observed critical frequency of E layer (foE) over Chumphon, Thailand which is located at nearly the magnetic equator (lat. 10.72° long. 99.37° dip. 3°) during September 2004 to August 2005. The foE is one of essential parameters in the International Reference Ionsphere (IRI) model. We investigate the variation of the observed foE by comparing to the Sun spot number, ionospheric index, and 10.7 cm. flux. Due to essentially of accurate IRI model can be used to applied in communication such as it may be implied tendency of phenomena in E layer effect on high frequency communication over Chumphon, Thailand. © 2013 IEEE.

This study presents the diurnal and seasonal variations of slab thickness at the equatorial magnetic latitudes in Thailand during 2004-2006, corresponding to the declining part of low solar activity. The GPS-derived total electron content (TEC) and the maximum electron density of the F-region (N <inf>m</inf>F<inf>2</inf>) are used to compute the slab thickness (&tau) at the Chumphon station (10.72°N, 99.37°E), located near the magnetic equator. The results show that large peaks of slab thickness exist during the pre-sunrise hours in all three seasons at Chumphon when compared with other latitudes. The maximum value of slab thickness occurs when the peak electron density in the F<inf>2</inf> region is at the lowest level. During daytime, the slab thickness ranges from 200 kilometers to 580 kilometers for all seasons. During nighttime, the maximum value of slab thickness is 1250 kilometers in the summer of 2004. Moreover, the diurnal variation shows two minima that appear around 0900 LT and 1900 LT, during the post-sunrise and sunset hours. The seasonal variations show that the average slab thickness daily value is greater during summer and winter than those during equinox. Our study finds that the slab thickness at Chumphon located near the equatorial latitude is much larger than those found at low, mid, and high latitudes. The difference in slab thickness between the equatorial latitude and other zones is explained by the lack of plasma flow from the plasmasphere to the F<inf>2</inf> region at the magnetic equator.

This paper investigates bottomside thickness parameters at Digisonde stations over midlatitude and high latitude regions, and compares the diurnal, seasonal, and solar activity variations in 2014 and 2009. The geographic latitudes of high latitude considered in this work are located beyond ±60° and those of midlatitude are located between ±40° and ±60°. The IRI-modeled B0 with ABT-2009 option (B0_IRI) are also examined and compared with four kinds of the B0 values, i.e., the observed B0 (B0_obs) from GIRO, the computed B0 following to Jamjareegulgarn et al. (2017a) (B0_old), the calculated B0 with a correction factor regarding to Jamjareegulgarn et al. (2017b) (B0_new), and the B0 with an average correction factor (B0_new_c_av). The average correction factors are proposed additionally in this work so as to assist occasionally the experimental B0 nonexistence of Digisonde which are equal to 0.2658 and 0.2058 for midlatitudes and high latitudes, respectively. Results show that the diurnal variations of B0_new and B0_new_c_av are in a good agreement with those of B0_obs evidently compared with those of B0_IRI and B0_old at every station during the three seasons over high and middle latitudes. During the three seasons, the diurnal variations of B0_new_c_av show similar trends and are close to one another with the B0_obs and the B0_new with small deviations. The differences between the B0obs and the B0_new_c_av also show similar trends and are close to one another with those between the B0obs and the B0_new. In contrast, the B0_IRI with ABT-2009 option seems to predict the B0 values poorly during the three seasons at high latitudes and some seasons at midlatitudes. The proposed B0_new is useful for computing approximately the observed B0 and the ionogram-based total electron content (ITEC) of Digisonde, and the plasma scale height over midlatitudes and high latitudes.

In this research, as a part of working towards improving the IRI over magnetic equatorial region, the critical frequency of E layer in the ionosphere (foE) derived from the ionogram at Chumphon station (10.72°N, 99.37°E), Thailand, during 2005-2008 is analyzed. The Chumphon station is located in the magnetic equatorial region at the magnetic latitude of 3.22°N. The seasonal variation of the foE measurements is compared to the IRI foE predictions with the optional input in the sunspot number (Rz12) and the solar radio noise flux (F10.7). For a declining phase of the solar cycle 23 during the year 2005-2008, the study shows that the IRI foE prediction is similar to the foE observation during the period of 2005-2008. The maximum differences between the IRI foE prediction and foE observation are about 500 kHz during daytime period of 2007.

The ionospheric Total Electron Content (TEC) can be obtained from processing measurements of the dual-frequency Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver. The main sources of errors in the TEC calculation are satellite and receiver biases. In this paper, we apply the gradient descent algorithm on the receiver bias estimation. The TEC is derived from measurements at 12 dual-frequency GPS stations in Thailand. The criterion of receiver bias estimation is based on the minimum sum of the vertical TEC (VTEC) standard deviation method. The results show that the maximum receiver bias value is approximately 3.69 ns at UDON station, while the minimum value is -5.91 ns at SRTN station. The accuracy of the receiver biases from this algorithm is compared with the reference method. The maximum percentage deviation is about 7.5% at SRTN station. The percentage deviation of the minimum sum of the VTEC between the reference method and the proposed method from all stations are less than 0.05%. Thus, the proposed algorithm is a viable option to estimate the receiver bias.

We have analyzed the total electron content (TEC) derived from dual-frequency GPS receivers (GPS TEC) at the Chumpon station, Thailand, during the period 2004-2006. The diurnal, monthly, and seasonal variation in the measured TEC is compared with the TEC derived from the IRI-2007 model as well as the TEC obtained from the International GNSS service (IGS). To date, TEC data at equatorial latitudes are limited. The Chumphon station (10.72 °N, 99.37°E) is located at the equatorial latitude and the dip latitude of 3°N. The TEC from the IRI-2007 model is based on the actual F<inf>2</inf> plasma frequency (f<inf>o</inf>F<inf>2</inf>) measurement. The results of our study show that the TEC derived from the IRI-2007 model agrees with the GPS TEC data mostly in the morning hours, but that it generally underestimates the GPS TEC. The maximum differences are about 15 TECU during the daytime and 5 TECU during the nighttime. The underestimation is more evident at daytime than at nighttime. The noon-bite out phenomena are clearly seen for the IRI-2007 TEC, but not on the IGS TEC and GPS TEC. The general underestimation of the IRI-2007 model can be explained from the exclusion of the plasmasphere, whereas the large difference during noon bite-outs is caused by the difference in the slab thickness in the ionosphere between the IRI-2007 model and the actual measurement. When compared with the TEC from the IGS model, the TEC measurements at Chumpon appear to be quite similar. Copyright © The Society of Geomagnetism and Earth.

In this research, as part of working towards improving the IRI over equatorial region, the total electron content (TEC) derived from GPS measurements and IRI-2007 TEC predictions at Chumphon station (10.72 N, 99.37 E), Thailand, during 2004-2006 is analyzed. The seasonal variation of the IRI-2007 TEC predictions is compared with the TEC from the IRI-2007 TEC model with the option of the actual F2 plasma frequency (foF2) measurements as well as the TEC from the GPS and International GNSS service (IGS). The Chumphon station is located at the equatorial region and the low latitude of 3.22 N. For a declining phase of the solar cycle (2004-2006), the study shows that the IRI-2007 TEC underestimates the IRI-2007 TEC with the foF2 observation at the nighttime by about 5 TECU. The maximum differences are about 15 TECU during daytime and 5 TECU during nighttime. The overestimation is more evident at daytime than at nighttime. When compared in terms of the root-mean square error (RMSE), we find that the highest RMSE between GPS TEC and IRI 2007 TEC is 14.840 TECU at 1230 LT in 2004 and the lowest average between them is 1.318 TECU at 0630 LT in 2006. The noon bite-out phenomena are clearly seen in the IRI-2007 TEC with and without optional foF2 measurements, but not on the GPS TEC and IGS TEC. The IRI TEC with optional foF2 measurements gives the lowest RMSE values between IRI TEC predicted and TEC measurement. However, the TEC measurements (GPS TEC and IGS TEC) are more correct to use at Chumphon station. © 2012 COSPAR. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Ground-Based Augmentation System (GBAS) is an augmentation system support for GNSS to provide a differential correction and integrity information to the aircraft for landing approach. However, the ionospheric disturbances can cause the ionospheric delay gradient between the reference stations and the aircraft and may degrade the accuracy and safety level of GBAS. In this work, we present some preliminary results of the ionospheric delay gradients in terms of the difference of slant TEC (total electron content) using GPS monitoring stations near Suvarnabhumi International airport, Bangkok, Thailand. Based on the data on 1st September, 2011, the results show that the slant TEC between two nearby stations are different during plasma bubble occurrence. In addition, we also compute the speed of moving plasma bubble by estimating the delay time between slant TEC patterns. © 2013 IEEE.

In this paper, we present the new method for real-time GPS receiver bias estimation by using Lagrange interpolation, which is also compared to the two current methods, polynomial and minimization of standard deviation. The estimated method is proposed to reduce the complexity and time of the GPS receiver bias estimation. Lagrange interpolation is the method to find the derivatives and integrals of discrete functions in GPS receiver bias data. The test site is located on Chumphon station, Thailand. The test period of data method is during the year 2004–2019. In the quiet and disturbed days, the polynomial method gives the highest value of the GPS receiver bias at −5.75 ns and −4.25 ns, respectively, but the Lagrange interpolation shows the lowest value of GPS receiver bias at −6.85 ns and −5.25 ns, in order. The results and comparisons among the polynomial GPS receiver bias method, the minimization of standard deviation of GPS receiver bias method, and Lagrange interpolation method show that the calculated time for Lagrange interpolation is shorter compared to other methods and it can be given more time points for finding GPS receiver biases than others.
