• Even for the same satellite, two different arcs are generally affected by different levelling errors.

• IFB can be affected by significant intra-day variations.• Levelling errors: 1.4 - 5.3 TECUs

Conclusions and future Conclusions and future worksworks

LPIM has more than a decade working as a tool for ionospheric studies

Is evolving towards a 4D modelMore physical equations are being

implemented in the program.More data are being assimilating (TOPEX-

JASON, LEO,…)Modifications must be done so the program

works as a filter and accepts NTRIP data
