摘要
One of the methods to adapt the International Reference Ionosphere model to real time conditions is to use instantaneous values of the critical frequency of the ionosphere foF2. It is shown that there can be large discrepancies between model and experimental values of the total electron content TEC after this adaptation. Improvement can be provided by the use of an empirical model of the ionospheric slab thickness tau. This conclusion is based on analysis of contributions of various correction factors connected with foF2 and tau into discrepancies between model and experimental values of TEC. (C) 2010 COSPAR.
