Continued Improvements to the PRISM and PIM Ionospheric Models

Abstract

This report describes the modifications and updates that have been made to the Parameterized Real-time Ionospheric Specification Model (PRISM) that is operational at the 55th Space Weather Squadron (55 SWXS). It also describes the implications of work carried out under a separate contract for the design and development of a new version of PRISM (to be known as PRISM 2) that is to include the plasmasphere, improved theoretical climatology, and an improved data assimilation algorithm.
