Need to be able to download: • A list of stations available for each day, with • Names, with correct lower case • Coordinates • Quality, i.e., residual size, average availability
Conclusions: • There are four principal areas where GPS ionosphere modeling is susceptible of significant improvements in the foreseeable future: • Input data • Model parameterization • Computer power • Validation and intercomparison
