Workflow Diagram & Notes

Workflow Diagram

This workflow provides measured F2 peak height (FPeak) values obtained from GIRO ionosonde stations and compares them with modelled FPeak values in quiet conditions derived from a data collection developed by the Ebro Observatory. The comparison is performed over a user-defined time interval, with plots showing the residuals (differences) between the observed and modelled FPeak values. These residuals are displayed together with magnetic field components from the DSCOVR mission and the three-hourly geomagnetic Kp-index as possible drivers. The workflow enables users to explore potential correlations between FPeak residuals and geomagnetic or interplanetary indices.
