A hybrid reconstruction approach for estimating topside ionospheric scale height and its altitudinal variation using Jicamarca ISR measurements
摘要
In ionospheric research, accurately representing the topside electron density profile is essential for predicting radio wave propagation and mitigating ionospheric effects on communication and navigation systems. Despite advances in global models and satellite observations, region-specific and continuous modelling of the topside ionosphere remains challenging due to limited in-situ measurements. Reliable reconstruction of the topside ionosphere using empirical formulations requires precise knowledge of the scale height at the
