Ne maps of the DMSP satellite F15 (sat 1)

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

Ne maps of the DMSP satellite F16 (sat 2)

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

Ne maps of the DMSP satellite F17 (sat 3)

Histogram of error and correlation

Left panel shows the histogram of error between IRI-2016 and DMSP 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.
