This archive contains the data used for the research work with title "A comparative assessment of the distribution of Joule heating in altitude as estimated in TIE-GCM and EISCAT over one solar cycle". The data represent Joule heating and Pedersen conductivity altitude profiles for the duration of the solar cycle 24 between the years 2009 and 2019. The information is separated by Magnetic Local Time, Kp index and altitude. There are data from the EISCAT incoherent scatter radar in Matlab format and from a TIE-GCM simulation executed at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Democritus University of Thrace in NetCDF format.
