Measurements and Empirical Model Comparisons of F-Region Characteristics and Auroral Oval Boundaries During the Solstitial SUNDIAL Campaign of 1987

Abstract

We report on the SUNDIAL campaign conducted during the solstitial period May 29-June 7, 1887. For generally quiet conditions a global network of ionosonde data, supported by topside sounder observations of the Intercosmos 1806 satellite, were compared with the International Reference Ionosphere (IRI). The comparisons included F-region peak characteristics.
