Ionospheric TEC short-term forecasting in CHINA

A short-term forecasting method has been developed for the ionospheric TEC in China region. This method consists of two parts: the single station forecasting and the regional ionospheric reconstruction. Based on the measurement data from 27 stations in China and its surrounding area, the short-term forecasting of the ionospheric TEC has been realized, giving the estimate of the prediction errors. The possible ways are discussed for improving the accuracy of the prediction.
