Abstract The limitation of ionospheric models in describing short-term ionospheric events has led to the development of data assimilative models e. Ionospheric Map The plot above shows a near real-time critical ionospheric frequency foF2 map produced using automatically scaled ionogram profiles from the Australian region and around the world. With javascript enabled you would see control buttons here to enable viewing up the last 7 days of ionosperic maps images interactively. In other words, the model performed better on its own in predicting hmF2 and foF2 without any external input. Corresponding Author hegai izmiran. This case study may contribute to a more clear vision of the F2-layer variability caused by sources not linked to geomagnetic activity.

The focus of this paper is to evaluate the capability of izmian IRI-Plas model in predicting the three key ionospheric parameters when adjusted with various input parameters during these storm events.

The modeled parameters are estimated using the latest version of the model - IRI-Plas model. This article has been cited by 0 dtaa in Cited-By.

Storm time IRI-Plas model forecast for an African equatorial station

Abstract The limitation of ionospheric models in describing short-term ionospheric events has led to the development of data assimilative models e.

On the validity of the ionospheric pierce point Fkf2 altitude of km in the Indian equatorial and low-latitude sector.

Overall, for the model prediction of hmF2 and foF2, no significant difference between the prediction errors when the no input option of the model is implemented and when there is ingestion of external data. All the options give close representation of foF2 but failed to predict the prominent features observed in the storm time structure such as the enhancement in the pre-noon peak recorded on the 4 August.

Each station exhibits significant variability of foF2. Results from daat of these studies have revealed discrepancies in the performance of the model, some of which have been attributed to its inability to account for the plasmaspheric contribution to the ionospheric total electron content TEC e.

The plots also include the quiet and storm time variation of the three parameters. Corresponding Author hegai izmiran. As an indicator of geomagnetic activity we use the geomagnetic index Ap.

On the Variability of the Ionospheric F2-Layer During the Quietest Days in December 2009

As shown in Fig. However, with ionosonde derived foF2 input, there is significant discrepancy between the modeled TEC and the observed values for all the storm days. Adimulac O. The aim is to get the combination of the model options that give dafa reliable estimate out of the three key ionospheric parameters TEC, foF2 and hmF2.

Again all the options could not predict the decrease in the F2 layer height found in the observed value for the two storm days. To evaluate the effect of assimilation on the model performance, we have used the model prediction when operated with no external data input as a standard of comparison for the dqta options.

They suggested that the model can compensate with much higher accuracy the ionospheric induced error. The bar charts in Fig. The time variation of a Kp and b Dst indices for the period 4—8 April, It is dta that the main cause of NmF2 variability is the propagation of planetary waves in the winter hemisphere, particularly the filtering of vertically propagating gravity waves by winds; neutral composition changes also provide some contribution, at least in winter.

Patterns of foF2 variability are different at different stations, even if the stations are located close to each other. This may be because this portion of the model is not well modeled to capture the storm induced dynamics in the region. Search Advanced Search Adode Reader link.

In the assimilative mode of operation of the model, the instantaneous values of the three parameters is determined from the reference quiet time monthly median value of each parameter. The adjusted model may give a more realistic representation of foF2 and hmF2 values.

Again, all the model options failed to reproduce the prominent storm induced features in both the foF2 and hmF2. Ionospheric Map The last 7-days ionospheric conditions as observed by a global network of ionosondes is shown on this page.

Therefore, the model representation using the no input option is still valid for the storm-time computation of the peak parameters. Please review our privacy policy.
