• Even for the same satellite, two different arcs are generally affected by different levelling errors.
• IFB can be affected by significant intra-day variations.• Levelling errors: 1.4 - 5.3 TECUs

Conclusions and future Conclusions and future worksworks
LPIM has more than a decade working as a tool for ionospheric studies
Is evolving towards a 4D modelMore physical equations are being
implemented in the program.More data are being assimilating (TOPEX-
JASON, LEO,…)Modifications must be done so the program
works as a filter and accepts NTRIP data
