NEDM2020: ionosphere electron density

Last modified at Aug 12th, 2024, 12:00 GMT

Description

The Neustrelitz Electron Density Model NEDM2020 can provide electron concentration at any given location and time in the ionosphere for trans-ionospheric applications (altitude range 80 – 20,000 km) based on user latitude, longitude, height, day of year, and universal time as inputs, with driving parameter F10.7. The empirical model is an amalgamation of altitude region specialized approaches for the plasmasphere, F layer, and E layer.
