The Ionospheric Occultation Experiment (IOX) is a dual-frequency GPS receiver with a single Earth-limb viewing antenna. Ionospheric remote sensing is possible during occultation events in which the line of sight to a GPS satellite being tracked by IOX sets through the Earth's limb. IOX is in a 67° inclination, 800 km altitude orbit, enabling it to make ionospheric measurements at all local times under near-solar maximum conditions over the course of its mission. IOX has been making routine measurements of occulting GPS satellites since the latter part of November 2001. A preliminary evaluation of ionospheric profiles derived from the occultation measurements during both geomagnetically quiet and active time periods will be presented. The observations will be assessed in the context of climatological expectations under these conditions using the RIBG ionospheric model.
