SCIENTIFIC EXPLOITATION OF SPACE DATA FOR IMPROVED IONOSPHERIC SPECIFICATION

DISPEC project aims at the exploitation of bottomside and topside ionospheric data, provided by space missions – such as Swarm, DORIS, GRACE, GRACE-FO, Spire, COSMIC-2– and by ground-based GNSS receivers and ionosonde sounders, to support research activities for improved ionospheric specification, through the derivation of high-level data products.

The project outcomes have the potential to complement the ESA Space Science Archives and the Space Weather Network, the data collections provided by the global networks of ionosondes and GNSS ground based receivers, and to enhance the capacity of European Research Infrastructures.
