  • Standard deviation is computed at an elevation of 5°

  • The distance between the aircraft and the reference point (xair) and the speed of the aircraft (vair) are set to 7 km and 0.042 km/s based on the layout of the Chicago O’Hare airport (one of the largest airports) and the maximum speed at the taxiway (RTCA, 1999)

  • σvert.iono gradient = 0.004 mm/km
