| Summary: | <p align="justify"> This research aims to develop a prototype for an automated system to map the global
ionosphere dynamics using the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) network.
The ionosphere, the outermost layer of the Earth's atmosphere that is ionized, plays a
crucial role in radio communication and satellite navigation. GNSS observations can
be used to study the global ionosphere dynamics by measuring the variations in the
arrival time of GNSS signals. However, GNSS data processing requires sophisticated
and systematic processing techniques. In this study, an automated system prototype
is built to generate Total Electron Content (TEC) maps, which is a key parameter in
monitoring ionosphere dynamics. The system utilizes GNSS data processing
techniques that involve the elimination of different-frequency GNSS observation
data. The prototype has been tested and proven to produce accurate global TEC
maps. The findings of this research can contribute to advancing the understanding of
ionosphere dynamics and enhancing the accuracy of satellite navigation systems and
radio communications. Suggestions for further development include using more
receivers and satellite constellations, as well as integrating altimetry data to improve
TEC estimation in oceanic regions.
