Validation of Ionospheric Models

Abstract

The objective of this research is to obtain various ionospheric measurements from a wide range of geographic locations and to utilize the resulting databases to validate the theoretical ionospheric models that are the basis of the Parameterized Real-time Ionospheric Specification Model (PRISM) and the Ionospheric Forecast Model (IFM). Thus, our various efforts can be generally categorized as either modeling studies or work concerning observational databases.
