Abstract

An updated dataset based on data from a GNSS receiver with the SCINDA software installed in Lisbon airport area are presented: the new dataset cover the entire time interval from December 2014 to February 2019, except for the original SCINDA data for 2015, which can be found in the original version of the paper. The dataset consists of 2 parts: (1) data produced by SCINDA; (2) processed data. The types of the data produced by SCINDA are described in the original paper. The processed data are the TEC, S4, ROTI and position (latitude, longitude, altitude) extracted from the SCINDA data. Since the receiver was not calibrated when installed a provisionally calibrated TEC data is provided. The processing of the original SCINDA data was done using (1) a dedicated "SCINDA-Iono" toolbox for MATLAB; (2) scripts for R. Both the MATLAB toolbox and the R scripts allow to calculate 1-min and 1-hour means for ionospheric parameters both for each of available receiver-satellite pairs and averaged over all available satellites during the analysed hour, however the toolbox and the scripts are not interchangeable.
