Statistical characteristics of the total ion density in the topside ionosphere during the period 1996-2004 using empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis

We have applied the empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis to examine the climatology of the total ion density <i>Ni</i> at 840 km during the period 1996-2004, obtained from the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) spacecraft. The data set for each of the local time...
