Kelley, M.C., Wong, V.K., Hajj, G.A. and Mannucci, A.J. (2004). On measuring the off-equatorial conductivity before and during convective ionospheric storms. Geophysical Research Letters 31: doi: 10.1029/2004GL020423. issn: 0094-8276.

One of the biggest unknowns in the CIS/ESF (Convective Ionospheric Storms/Equatorial Spread F) Space Weather problem now can be measured. Radio occultations of the GPS constellation will be measurable on a regular basis during the COSMIC (Constellation Observing System for Meteorology, Ionosphere and Climate) and C/NOFS (Communications/Navigation Outage Forecast System) satellite era. These measurements can be used to determine the plasma density versus height and hence, the off-equatorial height-integrated conductivity.
