5. Ionospheric Pierce Points (IPP) Map


This function considers both spatial and temporal domains, using the Ionospheric Pierce Point concept to represent the ISMR data according to the declared parameters on a map, projecting the IPP path over the selected time interval using aggregation methods.


After selecting the initial parameters, such as the time interval, the user can set as output parameters:
