Validation of Ionospheric Models

Abstract

This contract was entitled Validation of Ionospheric Models. The objective of this contract was to obtain satellite and ground-based 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 categorized as either observational databases or modeling studies.
