Validation of Ionospheric Models

Abstract

During the period of April 1998 through March 1999, research efforts continued to support the validation of ionospheric models. These efforts included the acquisition and analysis of ionospheric measurements, software and algorithm development and comprehensive analysis of ionospheric model results. Research results provided unique The, scintillation and electron density data sets for model validations. Efforts also provided initial validations of a new sensor's ability to measure the electron density profile, novel applications of kinetic equations for ionospheric modeling, and the first comprehensive validation and comparison of various climatological and assimilative ionospheric models. The work resulted in five presentations at ionospheric conferences and one published journal article.
