We have modeled the effects of the Sodankylä Ion Chemistry model (SIC) electron density profiles on VLF propagation across the southern polar region during the first few days of the 4–10 November 2001 solar proton event (SPE). The results show that the SIC model is accurately reproducing the changes...
