<div><span></span><div><div>Author: Ningbo Wang (wangningbo@aoe.ac.cn)</div><div><br></div><div>Dear Colleagues,</div><div><br></div><div>The high-quality dual-frequency phase measurements from the DORIS system provide valuable information on the Earth¡¯s ionosphere. These data are well suited for the independent validation and/or combination of ionospheric TEC maps derived from </div><div>GNSS measurements. To this end, the concept of DORIS differential Slant Total Electron Content (dSTEC) was proposed to assess the performance of GNSS-based ionospheric maps. In addition, near-real-time (NRT) DORIS data, typically available with latencies of about 3 hours, have been provided by approximately 9 low-earth-orbit satellites since late 2024. Accordingly, the IDS Working Group on NRT Ionospheric Applications was launched at the same time.</div><div><br></div><div>At CAS, we routinely generated the NRT DORIS dSTEC information, which have been used to validate the performance of Real-Time Global Ionospheric Maps (RT-GIMs), and to support the combination of the new IGS rapid and final GIMs. To facilitate the use of NRT DORIS data for ionospheric analysis, we have prepared a draft document describing the DORIS-dSTEC product files routinely generated at CAS. This draft document covers the long filename convention, detailed data format and product file archive structure at CAS data center.</div><div><br></div><div>We hope that such DORIS dSTEC information will be useful for your research. Any feedback or suggestions you may have would be highly appreciated.</div><div><br></div><div>With best regards,</div><div>Ningbo Wang </div><div>on behalf of CAS Team</div></div></div>
