Predicted Diurnal Variations of Electron Density for Three High-Latitude Incoherent Scatter Radars
We have used a high‐latitude ionospheric model to predict the diurnal variations of electron density that should be observed by the EISCAT, Chatanika and Millstone Hill incoherent scatter facilities. Our calculations were for a strong convection model without substorms. Our results provide an indica...
