An idealized model is used to simulate radio occultation bending angles and residual ionospheric errors. The test results of the proposed simulation method agree with those of previous studies that use end-to-end simulation tools. Also, a new residual ionospheric error model proposed by Healy and Culverwell (2015) is verified in this letter by characterizing the key parameter, kappa. A simple model, kappa(a) = A - B x (alpha - 20)/60, is used to estimate the values of., where A and B are constants that indicate the magnitude and variation of the values of., respectively, and a represents the impact height. When the modelled values of. are applied in performing ionospheric corrections, the residual ionospheric errors decrease from approximately 5 x 10(-8) rad to 1 x 10(-9) rad at a latitude of 40 degrees N during the daytime and at a solar activity level of F-10.7 = 210. Though the proposed model does not assess other error terms, such as those associated with asymmetry and noise, it will likely prove to be an effective tool for describing idealized residual ionospheric errors in radio occultation, and the features of the. values identified in this study may be helpful in improving ionospheric correction methods.
