Short summary
This study presents a new approach to assimilate FORMOSAT-3/COSMIC radio occultation (RO) slant total electron content (TEC) data as well as ground-based GPS slant TEC data into the International Reference Ionosphere to reconstruct 3-D ionospheric election density structure. Our new ionospheric data assimilation model that employs the location-dependent background model error covariance outperforms the earlier assimilation model with the location-independent background model error covariance.
