onospheric soundings carried out at the same site and simultaneously with GPS measurements could contribute to the better understanding of the variations of the total electron content. However, for this purpose the total electron content deduced from GPS measurements must be converted to the place of observation. A method based on an interpolation considered as boundary value problem is recommended for this conversion. Furthermore, the possibilities of the application of datapobtained by ionopheric soundiings in GPS measurements are discussed and also preliminary results of model calculations are presented.

In this paper we present the preliminary results of phase-referenced VLBA observations of two pulsars PSRB1937+21 and PSRB0329+54. Since pulsar observations usually require a lower observing frequency than that used for other astrometric applications, ionospheric delays are a significant source of systematic error. For the observations presented here we used total-electron-content (TEC) measurements derived from dual-frequency GPS observations (Wilson, Mannucci & Edwards, 1995) to calibrate ionospheric delays.Using this calibration technique were able to obtain positions for these two pulsars which we believe to be accurate to approximately 2 mas in each coordinate. With this level of accuracy we expect astrometric pulsar observations to be able to address a variety of interesting issues ranging from reference frame alignment and fundamental astrometry to the origin of pulsar velocities.
