Abstract  

When the electromagnetic wave of the satellite radar altimeter get through the ionosphere in the atmosphere,the spread time will be postponed by the influence of the ion,thus the altitude data of the satellite radar altimeter measured could cause an error,as to it has to carry on correcting.This paper compared the main ionosphere correction models for the satellite radar altimeter,including Bent model,IRI95 model and IRI2007 model.The pros and cons of Bent model,IRI95 model and IRI2007 model are analyzed from three different angles which are layering,the mathematic model of each layer and the parameter established respectively.This study shows that IRI model performs better than Bent model,IRI2007 is better than IRI95,particularly in the medium degree of latitude region,the correct result of IRI2007 model is the best,based on the data of Jason-1 altimeter.The study provides the reference for the model selection of Chinese HY-2 altimeter.

Key words:  Ionosphere correct      Bent model      IRI model
