Abstract: | For the inversion of ionospheric occultation data, the Abel inversion method of calibrated TEC is usually adopted, but the spherical asymmetry of the real ionosphere will bring errors to the inversion result of electron densities. This paper studies a TEC compensated inversion method. By combining with a background field, this method may eliminate the effect of the horizontal variability of electron density on the TEC, and improve the applicability of the assumption of spherical symmetry as well as the inversion accuracy. Applying this method to the inversion of simulative occultation events, the result demonstrates that compared with the traditional Abel transform inversion, the TEC compensated inversion method can reduce the inversion error. Comparing the various background fields obtained in different ways, it is shown that the higher the coincidence level between the background field and the real field, the better the inversion result. |
