| Zusammenfassung |
| The development of a map of the ionosphere over South Africa is presented in
this paper. The International Reference Ionosphere (IRI) model, South
African Bottomside Ionospheric Model (SABIM), and measurements from
ionosondes in the South African Ionosonde Network, were combined within
their own limitations to develop an accurate representation of the South
African ionosphere. The map is essentially in the form of a computer program
that shows spatial and temporal representations of the South African
ionosphere for a given set of geophysical parameters. A validation of the
map is attempted using a comparison of Total Electron Content (TEC) values
derived from the map, from the IRI model, and from Global Positioning System
(GPS) measurements. It is foreseen that the final South African ionospheric
map will be implemented as a Space Weather product of the African Space
Weather Regional Warning Centre. |
