Modeling the Bottomside Ionospheric Electron Density Profile
A model describing the mid-latitude bottomside electron density profile is presented. The only geophysical input parameters required for the model are critical frequency, M-factor, planetary index (Ap), and 2800 MHz solar radio flux. An empirically-determined formula for calculating H(m)F2 is derived and used in the model. This formula is a function of the M-factor, local time, day number and magnetic activity. The results obtained by comparing predicted profiles to observed electron density profiles are presented in the form of mean percentage errors as a function of height and local time. The New Model IS COMPARED TO A MODEL CURRENTLY IN OPERATIONAL USE AND IS SHOWN TO BE A 10 TO 20 PERCENT IMPROVEMENT. (Author)
A Three-dimensional Ionospheric Model Using Observed Ionospheric Parameters
An electron density model, which permits a three-dimensional specification of the ionospheric structure, has been developed. The model generates realistic electron density profiles in the altitude range from 100 to 800 km by making use of selected ionospheric parameters that are routinely observed. The model also allows for the calculation of the electron distribution over the entire path of propagation of a radio signal by employing a synoptic mapping technique. The mapping technique enagles ionospheric parameters observed at specific locations to be extended and extrapolated to regions where data are not normally accessible. The electron densities that are computed are done in a manner that is totally consistent with the observed parameters needed to generate the profiles. (Author).
