The imaging of electron density fields using ionospheric observations of the Global Positioning System (GPS) has become a rapidly developing and powerful ionospheric remote sensing method. These imaging techniques are based on the assimilation of line-of-sight measurements of Total Electron Content (TEC) along the signal paths of GPS radio waves into climatological background models of the ionospheric electron density distribution. Here, we apply a three-dimensional imaging tool, which assimilates calibrated GPS TEC observations into a combined International Reference Ionosphere/Global Core Plasma model. The GPS database consists of data from ground-based receivers and of ionospheric radio occultations realised onboard the CHAMP satellite. We will present the outcomes of validating the assimilation with independent data, and discuss assimilation results from a case study.
