Abstract:
We test ionospheric parameters obtained by inverting O II 83.4 nm dayglow profiles against coincident ground-based measurements of electron density. Limb profiles from the Remote Atmospheric and Ionospheric Detection System (RAIDS) EUV Spectrograph on the International Space Station (ISS) are compared to a radiative transfer model which assumes a Chapman-α electron density profile fit to an independent ground-based measurement.
