Short summary
This paper describes an approach to model VTEC solely from NRT GNSS observations by generating a multi-scale representation (MSR) based on B-splines. The unknown model parameters are estimated by means of a Kalman filter. A number of products are created which differ both in their spectral and temporal resolution. The validation studies show that the product with the highest resolution, based on NRT input data, is of higher accuracy than others used within the selected investigation time span.
