Geophysical Centre in Dourbes

The RMI Ionospheric section team developed a novel operational system using measurements from the collocated Digisonde and a GNSS receiver in Dourbes to reconstruct the full electron density profile in the ionospehre above Belgium.

The system, dubbed LIEDR (Local Ionospheric Electron Density profile Reconstruction), acquires and promptly processes the incoming measurements, computes the full-height ionospheric electron density profile, and displays the resulting profilograms. LIEDR is designed to operate in continuous real-time mode for service applications and to provide historical data/plots for research applications and further developments of the system. This service can be found on this webpage.
