The tiny ionospheric photometer (TIP) and GPS occultation experiment (GOX) onboard FORMOSAT-3/COSMIC are
employed to measure the OI 135.6 nm intensities and derive the electron density profiles in the ionosphere,
respectively. Due to its very high sensitivity ~600 counts/Rayleigh and rather narrow nadir pointing 3.8¢X circular
field-of-view, the TIP provides accurate characterization of ionospheric electron density gradients in the horizontal
direction. Meanwhile, a technique of the low earthquake orbital (LEO) tomography is applied to analyze the GOX
data accurately obtaining the F2-peak electron density, NmF2, and the height, hmF2. Here, we combine the two
observations to carry out the GOX-TIP tomographic inversions.
