Testing Ionospheric Model NeQuick 2 Using Satellite Measurements of Electron Concentration
摘要
The results of studying the systematic errors of the ionospheric model NeQuick 2, verified using electron concentration data of satellite measurements from the Swarm mission for 2014, are presented. The study utilized measurements obtained by Langmuir probes installed on the spacecraft of the mission during the period of solar activity maximum. The research allowed for determining the mean modeling errors in different latitude zones and geomagnetic conditions and obtaining spatial distributions of systematic deviations of the model from the measurement data. The characteristic deviation values amount to 80
