Improvements to the PRISM and PIM Ionospheric Models

Abstract

This report describes 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 a modified TEC data assimilation algorithm that has been implemented in a special regional version of PRISM, and which is available for implementation in the operational version. Finally, it describes several activities related to the validation of PRISM using data from a variety of sources.
