Many networks of GPS
Burkina Faso, Algeria, Egypt, Rwanda etc…
Necessity to share -> Work of the AGS
The satellite signal is strongly modified by
ionosphere and troposphere
TEC
LAYERS
> 600 km
EXOSPHERE
few collisions, Particles follow
balistic orbit
80-600 km
THERMOSPHERE
Ionization by the solar X-EUV
radiation
IONOSPHERE
30-80 km
MESOSPHERE
Absorption of the radiation UV by
the ozone layer
11-30 km
Turbulence
There is a strong interest to
use GPS for meteorology
STRATOSPHERE
0-11 km
TROPOSPHERE
Meteorological phenomena
Equatorial Fountain : map in East Africa now possible
Amory-Mazaudier et Fleury, 2013
ISWI : very successful project => we have to continue
Objective 1 – Map of TEC / Bangalore 2006
Objective 2 – African scientific Leaders / Ethiopia 2007
Leaders in : Nigeria, Côte d’Ivoire, Kenya, Egypt, Burkina Faso, Algeria,
Morocco etc…
1st President : Prof Babatunde RABIU

Capacity Building
25 PhD -> 1992-2013
15 PhD -> 2007-2013 (IHY and ISWI)
10 countries ( Africa (5) – Europe (2)-Asia (2))
Actually 30 PhD in progress
GNSS is a tool for research and development
GNSS MASTER -> UN SCHOOLS in MOROCCO and NIGERIA
MAGHREB ISWI SCHOOL - each 2 years
School each year
Egypt
Workshop on Space Weather
Nigeria each year
PERENNITY
• Need of International cooperation
• Need of tools in Africa (GPS, magnetometers,
radars etc…)
• Schools are very important -> to attract PhD
students.
• Programs of exchange (PhD and post doc)
=> Need of mentors
• African countries in International scientific
associations as SCOSTEP, COSPAR URSI
• Next AGS meeting at Abuja in June 2014

RESEARCH => SYSTEMIC APPROACH from the ground to the sun
a fisrt necessity
TRAINING:
Schools on space weather and GNSS => global approach
ANALYSIS OF EXISTING DATA BASE : many PhD
Assimilation of data in model
DATA BASE OF SIMULATION:
All the cases analyzed can be used later
AFRICA:
To continue the deployment of ground based instruments over Africa
Capacity building in Africa => need of Mentors
OPERATIONAL SPACE WEATHER :
Researchers produce knowledge and data
