GPS-TEC analysis program (version 3.5)

  GPS-TEC analysis program ver 3.5

This application is a useful & very simple tool in deriving the Ionospheric TEC from the GPS raw data, from both RINEX 2 & 3 observation files (Seemala G.K., 2023). Currently it allows only ionospheric TEC derivation from GPS, TEC values from other GNSS will be included in the near future update after testing.

Download program link --> GPS_Gopi ver-3.5 (zip file)


This update fixes few bugs, and updated web links for download of Navigation and DCB files. 
You have to unzip the downloaded zip file into a folder, the program does not need any installation as it is portable executable file. 
If the program does not run or gives an error on your Windows PC/laptop, you may have to install install visual studio redistributable. It can be downloaded from the following link (not included in the zip file).
Download directly from here vc_redist.x86 OR from the following webpage:

Please read brief details and instructions from the "GPS_TEC Readme.pdf"  document which is also inside the above zip file. 
Let me know if you have questions at my email address, please find my email in the above pdf document. 
The description of GPS-TEC program algorithm is published in the following chapter, you may go through it and please cite it when you publish your work using this program.
