Abstract
Choi et al. (2019) suggested that ionospheric total electron content (TEC) and receiver differential code bias (rDCB) stability have a strong correlation during a period of two years from 2014 to 2016. This article is a response to Zhong et al. (2020), who pointed out that the long-term variations of the GPS DCBs are mainly attributed to the satellite replacement rather than the ionospheric variability. In this issue, we investigated the center for orbit determination in Europe (CODE) Global Ionosphere Maps (GIM) products from 2000 to 2020. In this study, changes in TEC and receiver DCB (rDCB) root mean squares (RMS) at Bogota (BOGT) station still have a clear correlation. In addition, there was a moderate correlation between satellite DCB RMS and rDCB RMS. As a result, we suggest that rDCB can be affected simultaneously by GPS sDCB as well as ionospheric activity.This publication has 15 references indexed in Scilit:
