Abstract
To increase the spatial resolution of available TEC maps, an existing technique has been modified to better fit the context of Romania and to minimize computational time. The resulting maps have a resolution of 55 km2 and require sparse data interpolation to fill in missing data. The method yields results close to the reference values from IGS, with approximately 45% of maps having an absolute mean difference lower than 10 TECU, proving the viability of the method even at such high spatial resolutions.
