Open publisher page 3 citations

Abstract

Asystematic comparison is made between the electron density profiles observed at four of the Chinese ionospheric stations during high solar activity periods and the International Reference ionosphere IRI-90.It is indicated that the bottomside values of IRI-90 are generally greater than measured ones. In detail, the IRI-90 predicted electron content values are more close to the measured ones in daytime than in nighttime, and more close at mid latitudes than at low latitudes.
