Abstract

A new method is proposed for improving the IRI2016 vertical electron density profile by ingesting the in situ Ne values from Swarm A, B and C. The method is validated by comparing the improved electron density profiles with measured full height profiles over three Incoherent Scatter Radar stations in the American sector (Jicamarca, Millstone Hill and Sondrestrom) during the period 5–11 September 2017 covering both quiet and storm days. We considered 90 epochs corresponding to times when one of the Swarm satellites passed near an Incoherent Scatter Radar at a time when the Incoherent Scatter Radar was measuring electron density profiles.
