    • Ground-Based Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)-based Upper Atmospheric Realtime Disaster Information and Alert Network (GUARDIAN) Near Real-Time Ionospheric Total Electron Count (5-second sampling, 24-hour files) from NASA CDDIS

    Metadata Updated: January 29, 2026

    Developed at JPL, GUARDIAN is a near-real-time (NRT) ionospheric monitoring software (Martire et al.). Its main products are NRT total electronic content (TEC) time series, allowing users to explore ionospheric TEC perturbations due to natural and anthropogenic events on Earth. The NRT GUARDIAN time series are validated against well-established post-processing methods. Currently, time series are computed for more than 90 GNSS ground stations distributed around the Pacific Ring of Fire, which monitor the four main GNSS constellations (GPS, Galileo, BDS, and GLONASS).
