CEDAR Post-Doc: Empirical Electric Field Model

这位研究人员是一名Cedar博士后获得者，他利用所有现有的非相干散射雷达离子漂移测量和一些卫星观测，开发了一个经验的全球电离层电场模型。他的模型包括电离层电场的经度、纬度、高度、季节、太阳周期和地磁变化，并从赤道延伸到高纬度，从E区延伸到上F区。通过理论模型结果，将高、中、低纬的结果推广到低海拔地区。中低赤道电场扰动包括从高纬到低纬的瞬发穿透电场，以及电离层扰动发电机的电场效应。该模型极大地改进和扩展了现有的全球经验电场模型，并为应用全球电离层电场分布提供了真实的电场估计。

The investigator, a CEDAR post-doctoral awardee, develops an empirical global ionospheric electric field model, using all available incoherent scatter radar ion drift measurements and some satellite observations. His model includes longitudinal, latitudinal, altitudinal, seasonal, solar cycle, and geomagnetic variations of the ionospheric electric field, and extends from equatorial to high latitudes from the E to the upper F region. High, mid and low latitude results are extended to lower altitudes by theoretical model results. Mid, low and equatorial electric field perturbations include prompt penetration electric fields from high to low latitudes, and electric field effects of the ionospheric disturbance dynamo. The model significantly improves and extends existing global empirical electric field models, and also provides realistic electric field estimates for applying global ionospheric electric field distribution.
