SWARM

Storm 2015: 073-079

Model: IRI-2016

Instrument: SWARM

Electron density during the satellite rising and setting phases

Top panel shows the electron density (Ne) values obtained by the SWARM measurements.

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

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 SWARM 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 [default options].
