A new global ionospheric model was successfully implemented. The daytime portion of this model provides one-way ionospheric range corrections that compare favorably with those derived from the Mariner Venus/Mercury S- and X-band dual frequency Doppler data. For elevation angles, gamma higher than 30 deg and solar zenith angle less than 80 deg, this model provides calibrations accurate to a few centimeters. The calibrations provided by the nighttime model are also very reasonable. It is interesting to note that the daytime ionospheric calibrations derived from the current calibration scheme, DIEN/TIEN, are fairly close to those given by the new global model, especially in the temporal variations and thus the Doppler effects. The comparison between the nighttime model and DIEN/TIEN was based on the one-way ionospheric range corrections for three passes near the Mariner 9 encounter with Mars in 1971. They can differ by over 30%.
