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.

Capabilities

Processing Input Parameters

F10.7 solar flux [sfu] (optional)
F10.7 in solar flux units. This value is optional: Not setting it will instruct the server to try and fetch the F10.7 value for the given datetime automatically.
Receiver altitude [km]
Altitude of the receiver in kilometers.
Receiver latitude [deg]
Latitude of the receiver in degrees (signed decimal number).
Receiver longitude [deg]
Longitude of the receiver in degrees (signed decimal number).
Satellite altitude [km]
Altitude of the satellite in kilometers.
Satellite latitude [deg]
Latitude of the satellite in degrees (signed decimal number).
Satellite longitude [deg]
Longitude of the satellite in degrees (signed decimal number).
Date-Time [ISO]
Date and time of interest given as an ISO 8601 compliant string.
