Further tests of the IRI and DGR model ionospheres

The present study discusses and compares the IRI and DGR ionospheric models using N(h) profiles obtained during a high solar activity period at South Uist ionosonde station. After inversion, N(h) profiles obtained from ionograms at South Uist have been compared with those derived from the IRI-90 and...

description The present study discusses and compares the IRI and DGR ionospheric models using N(h) profiles obtained during a high solar activity period at South Uist ionosonde station. After inversion, N(h) profiles obtained from ionograms at South Uist have been compared with those derived from the IRI-90 and DGR ionospheric models. A small data set has been selected such that both geomagnetically quiet and disturbed conditions are represented. The importance of further comparisons with additional sets of N(h) profiles under different solar-geophysical conditions and at more stations has been recognized.
