Currently, more than 6000 operating GNSS receivers deliver observations to multiple servers. Ionospheric data are derived from these measurements providing outstanding space coverage and time resolution. There are about 200 million independent measurements daily. Researchers need sophisticated software tools to deal with such a large amount of data. We present recent advances and products from the System for Ionosphere Monitoring and Research from GNSS (SIMuRG). Currently,SIMuRG provides the total electron content (TEC) variations fltered within 2–10 min, 10–20 min, and 20–60 min, the Rate of the TEC Index, the Along Arc TEC Rate index, and the vertical TEC. SIMuRG is an online service at http://simurg.iszf.irk.ru. The system can be used free of charge and allows calculating both maps and series for arbitrary time intervals and geographic regions. All the data products are available in the form of data or fgures. We discuss the system and its geophysics applications.
