摘要: [1] In June 2006 an early opportunity arose to compare occultation-based electron density profiles with incoherent scatter radar data. The former were made available by the constellation of satellites called COSMIC. We find that value peak plasma in F region is reasonably well characterized but altitude overestimated above about 300 km and underestimated below height. A simple Abel transform not suitable for determining E profiles, even daytime. also compared emission strength recorded Tiny Ionospheric Photometer (TIP) on board COSMIC Arecibo measurement TEC as part ongoing effort calibrate former. TIP data both show development ionospheric storm type referred high-intensity, long-duration continuous AE activity. It surprising such a modest magnetic (Dst ∼ −2.5 nT) resulted anomaly moving nearly 30° latitude.
