Particular attention is paid to the errors caused by the slant total electron content (sTEC) when converted to the vertical total electron content (vTEC) by an elevation-dependent mapping function (MF), ignoring the satellite azimuth. We quantify the influence of the spatial gradient on ionospheric mapping using globally distributed GNSS measurements and the Ne...
