A Model of Ionospheric Total Electron Content

Abstract

A method for specifying or predicting the total electron content of an undisturbed mid-latitude ionosphere during the maximum phase of the solar cycle is presented. The report is operationally-oriented; procedures are suitable for hand calculations and are based on readily-available information. Diurnal, seasonal, and solar-activity-related variations in total electron content are modeled.
