Sentence examples for topside scale from inspiring English sources

Thus, all the difference between model TECiri and TECgps is attributed to the topside scale height.

The opposite relative variations of the critical frequency, r foF2, with respect to the topside scale height, r Hosc,have been presented in Gulyaeva (2011).

Decomposition of TECgps in electron density profile with IRI-Plas code reveals the opposite relative changes of critical frequency and the topside scale height depending on solar activity.

In the present study, the algorithm applied in the IRI-Plas model for obtaining the topside scale height, Hsc, when the F2-peak parameters are available from observation (Gulyaeva, 2011) is updated using the input of GPS-derived TEC to obtain both the instantaneous peak electron density and the topside scale height by fitting the model result TECiri to TECgps.

It is found that the topside scale height used in Digisonde reconstruction is less than that extracted from topside sounder profiles.

Moreover, Hm values produced routinely by digisondes can be helpful for constructing the topside electron-density profile when using an appropriate correction factor to estimate the topside scale height (Kutiev et al., 2009).

The results of the present study, as compared with those of previous studies for lower altitudes, indicate that topside vertical scale height increases with altitude and that, when solar activity increases, topside vertical scale height increases more rapidly at higher altitudes than at lower altitudes.

The ionospheric radio occultation (IRO) technique, based on low-earth-orbiting (LEO) satellites, is capable of delivering valuable information on the topside plasma scale height behaviour and of providing a rich database for consequent development of new empirical models of the plasma scale height and density.

They have concluded that the topside plasma scale height is not proportional to the plasma temperature (Zhang et al. 1990).

The topside ionosphere scale height extracted from two empirical models are compared in the paper.

First results from the analysis of the topside plasma scale height's temporal and spatial variations are also provided.
