Sensitivity Analysis Of Empirical Parameters In The Ionosphere-Plasmasphere Model, Janelle V. Jenniges Feb 2011

Sensitivity Analysis Of Empirical Parameters In The Ionosphere-Plasmasphere Model, Janelle V. Jenniges

Janelle V Jenniges

A sensitivity analysis of empirical parameters used in physics-based models was completed in this study to determine their effect on electron densities and total electron content (TEC) in the ionosphere. The model used was the Ionosphere- Plasmasphere Model (IPM) developed by Utah State University. The empirical pa- rameters studied include the O+/O collision frequency, zonal wind, secondary electron production, nighttime E⃗ × B⃗ drifts, and tidal structure. The sensitivity analysis was completed by comparing a default run of the IPM to a run with the parameter ad- justed for three geophysical cases. Many of the comparisons resulted in nonlinear changes …
