Abstract

This paper deals with estimation of critical frequencies foF2 using the GPS measurement. The ionosphere affects the time of flight of the signals between the satellite and the Earth. It is therefore possible to use the signals from the GPS for monitoring of ionospheric characteristics. We use measurements from the digisonde DPS-4D and the dual frequency GPS receiver TOPCON at the station Pruhonice, Czech Republic (50°N, 14.5°E).
