摘要: Abstract The Low-latitude Ionospheric Tomography Network (LITN), a chain of six stations located along the 121 °E meridian receiving signals from Transit NNSS satellites, carries out tomographic investigations ionosphere in this equatorial anomaly region. technical aspects network are introduced. Because steep latitudinal gradients region, special procedure has been developed to facilitate reconstruction process. Model simulations carried help formulate best algorithm. Initial results first set data full presented, and diurnal behavior discussed. Comparisons reconstructed electron density profiles with those derived ionograms vertical TECs observed appear indicate that LITN can be used provide two-dimensional image
