C/NOFS

Storm 2013: 073-079

Model: TIE-GCM

Instrument: C/NOFS

Electron density during the satellite rising and setting phases

Top panel shows the electron density (Ne) values obtained by the C/NOFS measurements.

Bottom panel shows the corresponding Ne values computed using TIE-GCM model.

y-axis is related to the geographical latitude.

x-axis is related to the day of year.

Storm event main phase starts in the beginning of DOY 076.

Ne histogram and correlations

Left panel shows the Ne values obtained by the C/NOFS 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 TIE-GCM values.
