| Abstract | Although the Klobuchar model is widely used in single-frequency GPS receivers, it cannot effectively correct the ionospheric delay. The Klobuchar model sets the night ionospheric delay as a constant, i.e., it cannot reflect temporal changes at night. The observation data of seventeen International Global Navigation Satellite System Service (IGS) stations within and around China from 2011 provided by the IGS center are used in this study to calculate the Total Electron Content (TEC) values using the Klobuchar model and the dual-frequency model. The Holt–Winters exponential smoothing model is used to forecast the error of the 7th day between the Klobuchar model and the dual-frequency model by using the error of the former six days. The forecast results are used to develop the sophisticated Klobuchar model when no epochs are missing, considering that certain reasons may result in some of the observation data being missing and weaken the relationship between each epoch in practical applications. We study the applicability of the sophisticated Klobuchar model when observation data are missing. This study deletes observation data of some epochs randomly and then calculates TEC values using the Klobuchar model. A cubic spline curve is used to restore the missing TEC values calculated in the Klobuchar mode. Finally, we develop the sophisticated Klobuchar model when N epochs are missing in China. The sophisticated Klobuchar model is compared with the dual-frequency model. The experimental results reveal the following: (1) the sophisticated Klobuchar model can correct the ionospheric delay more significantly than the Klobuchar model; (2) the sophisticated Klobuchar model can reflect the ionosphere temporal evolution, particularly at night, with the correct results increasing with increasing latitude; and (3) the sophisticated Klobuchar model can achieve remarkable correction results when N epochs are missing, with the correct results being nearly as good as that of the dual-frequency model when no epochs are missing. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
