The GIM data of 2 years from high solar activity (2014) and low solar activity (2021) provided by CODE (Center for Orbit Determination in Europe) are selected to calculate the total electron content (TEC) difference for each grid point in this paper. Based on the calculation of the spatial and temporal variations in the difference values, both spatial and temporal characteristics of the TEC difference values of the four grid points within the grid are analyzed in detail.

Satellite remote sensing helps monitor dust storms in East Asia, but its effectiveness is still limited. Our study compared five satellite products that use ground-based PM10 data. Most products agreed on the daily dust distribution, with AAI performing best under cloud cover. MODIS AOD performed best, followed by Himawari-8 AOD. This study improves dust and sparseness monitoring in East Asia.

We used the spherical harmonic function (SHF) and the local spherical symmetry (LSS) assumption methods to calculate the hourly and daily LEO satellite GPS differential code bias (DCB). The SHF method is more stable and precise than the LSS assumption. The daily DCB estimation is more accurate and stable than the hourly DCB due to more observation data. Hourly DCBs have large changes in one day, mainly be attributed to random errors because these error time series have a normal distribution.

We investigated the possible widening of the tropical belt along with the probable drivers and impacts based on high-accuracy, high-resolution GNSS RO data (2001–2020). The results show that the tropical belt has significant expansion in the Northern Hemisphere, while the Southern Hemisphere has no significant expansion.

Atmospheric drag due to mass density distribution, particularly during storm-time, is of great importance for low Earth orbit precise orbit determination, and for the understanding of magnetosphere–ionosphere–thermosphere phenomena. In this paper, we investigate solar cycle, seasonal, and hemispheric asymmetry dependencies of thermospheric mass density disturbances due to magnetospheric forcing, from 10-year (2003–2013) continuous time series of GRACE estimates.

A significant warming in the troposphere and cooling in the stratosphere are found in satellite measurements (2002–2017). The newest ERA5 data are first used for analyzing temperature and ozone trends in the UTLS and show the best quality compared to other reanalyses. According to model simulations, the temperature increase in the troposphere and ozone decrease in the NH stratosphere are mainly connected to a surface warming of the ocean and subsequent changes in atmospheric circulation.

In this paper, we discuss the higher-order ionospheric effects on electron density estimation. We estimate the higher-order ionospheric effect carefully and obtain some conclusions. The results show that the second-order ionospheric effects cannot be ignored in precise ionospheric electron density estimation. The azimuth, the solar activity, and the occultation time and position are the main effect factors of the high-order ionospheric delay which we should consider.

The differential code bias (DCB) is one of main errors for high-precision GNSS TEC estimation and positioning applications. In this paper, daily DCBs of the BeiDou System (BDS) are estimated and investigated from multi-GNSS network observations (2013–2014), which are compared with GPS results. The DCB of BDS satellites is a little less stable than GPS results, especially for GEO satellites. Zero-mean condition effects are not the dominant factor for the higher RMS of BDS satellite DCB.

Short summary
The dispersion equation and the reflection coefficient are elegant tools for investigating acoustic–gravity waves (AGWs) in stratified atmospheres. AGWs are used to study the the ionospheric D region–lower thermosphere interaction. This is important because these waves, and especially gravity waves, can produce ionospheric disturbances and an increase in lower thermospheric temperature. The results of this article can be applied to the stratified atmospheres of the planets and the Sun.

The complete time series of the geomagnetic disturbance index (K) from Norwegian magnetic observatories have been digitized. We compare and discuss the tree methods used to derive the index, finding that each method both have strengths and weaknesses. In total, we present all K-indices derived from Norwegian observatories since the 1930s until today, the used derivation methods and the long, historic time-series as a whole, enabling a critical use for future scientific work.

We report observations of sporadic-E (Es) layers and visual meteor count data simultaneously observed during night-time over the Arabian Peninsula. A constant and well-established presence of Es has been reported with a consistent count of meteors also present throughout the 1-year observation period. Data show that the Es observations are not dependent on the presence of meteor flux; i.e., the presence of meteors is not the main cause of the presence of Es over the Arabian Peninsula.

This study correlates ionospheric parameters with the integrated solar radiation for an analysis of the delayed ionospheric response in order to confirm previous studies on the delay and to further specify variations of the delay (seasonal and spatial). Results also indicate the dependence on the geomagnetic activity as well as on the 11-year solar cycle. The results are important for the understanding of ionospheric processes and could be used for the validation of ionospheric models.

In this work, we studied the HILDCAA disturbance time effects in the TEC by analyzing local time and seasonal dependences, and the influences of the solar wind velocity on a sample of 10 intervals occurring in 2015 and 2016. The main results show great variability in the hourly distribution of the dTEC between one interval and another, seasonal behavior different from that presented by geomagnetic storms, and interestingly no relation between the dTEC disturbances and the magnitude of the HSS.

Short summary
Based on our simulation results, both temperature change and meridional neutral wind could cause the 630.0 nm nightglow intensity to vary, while the latter is more effective. An unexpected aspect of the results is the non-monotonic dependence of the emission rate on temperature, featuring a turning point as the temperature changes. Our findings of these turning temperature tendencies can guide future modeling attempts to match the observed nightglow brightness intensities.

Short summary
In this paper, the receiver differential code bias (DCB) of BDS (BeiDou Navigation Satellite System) is estimated as the changing parameter within 1 d with epoch-by-epoch estimates. The intraday variability of receiver DCB is analyzed from 30 d of Multi-GNSS Experiment observations. In particular, the intraday stability of receiver DCB for the BDS-3 and BDS-2 observations is compared. The result shows that the intraday stability of BDS-3 receiver DCB is better than that of BDS-2 receiver DCB.
In this paper, the receiver differential code bias (DCB) of BDS (BeiDou Navigation Satellite...
