MICO
Modelo Ionosférico Colombiano
- First approach to develop a model -
MICO
(macaco or monkey )
Ionospheric Colombian Model
We developed a model to provide
information of TEC in the
ionosphere
Slant TEC
Pseudorange
Carrier phase
Observation files
Estimation of orbits
Navigation files
Comparison with other models
MICO
Behaviour of TEC variations
