Single frequency receivers needs to apply a model to remove the ionospheric refraction, which can reach up to few tens of meters, depending on the elevation of rays and the ionospheric conditions.
The models used inGPS and Galileo are described in Klobuchar Ionospheric Model and NeQuick Ionospheric Model. The GPS/Galileo satellites broadcast the parameters needed to run these models. In GLONASS, no ionospheric model is computed satellites, although anyone of the GPS or GALILEO model can be used for GLONASS signals, by applying a correction factor given by their relative squared frequencies ratio.
