Verification Of Global Assimilation Of Ionospheric Measurements Gauss Markov (Gaim-Gm) Model Forecast Accuracy, Paul H. Domm
Verification Of Global Assimilation Of Ionospheric Measurements Gauss Markov (Gaim-Gm) Model Forecast Accuracy, Paul H. Domm
Theses and Dissertations
GAIM-GM is an operational Kalman filter data assimilation model of the ionosphere that can assimilate data from GPS total electron content (TEC), ionosonde electron density profiles, and satellite based in situ electron densities. The Air Force Weather Agency (AFWA) uses GAIM-GM to specify and forecast the ionosphere. An in depth investigation into the accuracy of these forecasts has not been completed. GAIM-GM output obtained from four cases run from combinations of geomagnetic and solar activity was used to determine GAIM-GM forecast accuracy. Forecast accuracy was determined through the use of a skill score as well as other statistical tools to …
