Earth's ionosphere D-region vertical electron density profile data during March 1-31, 2017 according to high-latitudinal Tumanny observatory partial reflection radar measurements and Polar Geophysical Institute's model

The Earth's high-latitudinal D-Region ionosphere measurements are rarely performed continuously and with high temporal resolution. This data article provides the observed and modelled data on D-Region electron density variations during March 1-31, 2017 with 1-minute resolution. Both datasets sh...

description The Earth's high-latitudinal D-Region ionosphere measurements are rarely performed continuously and with high temporal resolution. This data article provides the observed and modelled data on D-Region electron density variations during March 1-31, 2017 with 1-minute resolution. Both datasets share the same data-files’ structure and naming conventions. D-Region electron density observations were performed with the ground-based vertical sounding medium frequency (MF) partial reflection radar located at Tumanny observatory (69.0°N, 35.7°E). Modelling of D-Region ionosphere electron density variations were performed for the same period using Polar Geophysical Institute's theoretical model of quiet-time D-Region ionosphere. These datasets are valuable (a) to validate and cross-compare existing models of the D-Region ionosphere, (b) to verify and improve HF-band radio-waves propagation models, and (c) in investigations of the Earth's-ionosphere waveguide properties in dependence on the features of the lower part of the waveguide, i.e., the D-Region (often referenced to as the D-Layer). Both datasets are required to gain the reproducibility of results reported by Gomonov and co-authors [2019, doi: 10.1051/epjconf/201922403011].
