The International Reference Ionosphere (IRI) project was established jointly by the Committee on Space Research (COSPAR) and Union of Radio Science (URSI) in late sixties with goal to develop an international standard for specification plasma parameters Earth's ionosphere. COSPAR needed such a evaluation environmental effects spacecraft experiments space, URSI radiowave propagation studies applications. At request URSI, IRI developed as data-based model avoid uncertainty theory-based models...
[1] The Global Ultraviolet Imager (GUVI) instrument carried aboard the NASA TIMED satellite measures spectral radiance of Earth's far ultraviolet airglow in region from 120 to 180 nm using a cross-track scanning spectrometer design.

Abstract Ionospheric F 2 region peak densities (NmF2) are expected to have a positive correlation with total electron content (TEC), and usually show an anticorrelation temperatures near the ionospheric peak. However, during 17 March 2015 great storm, observed TEC, NmF2, of storm‐enhanced density (SED) over Millstone Hill (42.6°N, 71.5°W, 72° dip angle) quiet different picture. Compared time ionosphere, height (hmF2), above ~220 km increased, but NmF2 decreased significantly within SED. This...
