Ionospheric Modeling: Development, Verification and Validation

Abstract

Much of the work performed this year has been directly related to the validation of the Global Assimilation of Ionospheric Measurements (GAIM) model. Summaries of these efforts are in 26 reports available within the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) on http://dd175/gaim/. Studies were also initiated to enhance the development of high-quality GPS data products and to validate the ability of the Special Sensor Ultraviolet Spectrographic Imager (SSUSI) onboard the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) F16 satellite to measure Total Electron Content. Finally efforts were expended to evaluate historical data sets for future activities in support of ionosphere effects on Space Situational Awareness (SSA), flight experiments and surveillance system programs.
