Multi-Instrument Data Analysis System

MIDAS is an advanced algorithm for imaging the Earth's ionosphere using data from various ground and space-based instrumentation. Line integral observations of the total electron content (TEC) obtained from a network of ground-based and space-based GPS receivers may be assimilated into the algorithm along with point estimates of the local electron density.  The resulting reconstructions provide a highly accurate three-dimensional image of the Earth's ionosphere and its evolution in time. 

Example outputs of MIDAS include:

The MIDAS package was developed under MATLAB and includes libraries for a number of external models.  The package will run under both Windows and UNIX platforms.

MIDAS is available under license from the University of Bath. Contact Dr Cathryn Mitchell, C.N.Mitchell@bath.ac.uk
