Description

We present highly-averaged data on the ionospheric electron density to illustrate solar-cycle, seasonal, and diurnal variations over Poker Flat (Alaska) for the period of 2010-2019. Considered are measurements by the PFISR incoherent scatter radar and onboard Swarm satellites (at ~ 450 and 510 km) and predictions by the e-CHAIM empirical model. We demonstrate major expected dependencies and focus on minor differences between the instruments and the model.
