Scientific paper

It has been known that the scintillation phenomenon is highly correlated with electron density gradient in the ionosphere. The six micro-satellites of the FORMOSAT-3/COSMIC (F3/C) in the low-Earth orbit are capable of monitoring the troposphere and ionosphere by using the powerful technique of radio occultation. With more than 6000 observations per day, it provides an excellent opportunity to probe three-dimensional structures of the S4 index and electron density. We examine diurnal, seasonal and geographical variations of simultaneous measurements of the ionospheric S4 index and electron density observed by GPS occultation experiment (GOX) onboard the F3/C in 2007-2009. Results and possible casuals are presented and discussed.
