Incoherent Scatter Radar

Storm 2013: 073-079

Model: IRI-2016

Instrument: ISR

ISR electron density profiles

Top panel shows the electron density (Ne) values obtained by the ISR (Inchoerent Scatter Radar) measurements at Millstone Hill.

Bottom panel shows the corresponding Ne values computed using IRI-2016 model [default options].

y-axis is related to the altitude.

x-axis is related to the Ne values in terms of log with base 10.

the color shows the daily Ne variation in local time.

Histogram of error and correlation

Left panel shows the histogram of error between IRI-2016 and ISR Ne measurements.

y-axis is related to number of occurrences of a specific error value.

x-axis is the Ne error.

The mean error (µ) and standard deviation of the error (σ) are shown in the top-right side of the plot.

Right panel shows the correlation (r) of the Ne measurements and IRI-2016 values.
