Global ionospheric weather. Scientific report No. 2
Work on global F region modeling has consisted of participation in the Phillips Laboratory Low Latitude Ionospheric Tomography Campaign, testing of the Global Theoretical Ionospheric Model (GTIM), and testing of the Parameterized Ionospheric Model (PIM). Analysis of TEC data and comparisons with other ionospheric models have been successfully conducted and are ongoing. Analysis of GPS observations are also ongoing. Studies have been made concerning limitations in determining TEC from dual frequency GPS measurements as well as the statistics of time rate of change of TEC. Software has been developed to process RINEX formatted GPS data into TEC. Work comparing the aulthors electron proton H atom model to both observations and other models has been very successful. The authors have also successfully modeled the creation of boundary blobs using time varying convection to first create patches in the polar cap and then to transport and distort them into boundary blobs in the auroral region.
