Validated: 12/5/25 Source: New source to be determined
General Comment: Confidence: reasonable
Def: :Not firm, but based on a strong heritage of experiments with similar data
Application Area Comment: Values discussed with ET-SWX. Submitted by Kirsti Kauristie AA 1.3 POC. Horizontal Coverage Comment: Relevant publications: RADIO SCIENCE, VOL. 44, RS2016, doi:10.1029/2008RS003955, 2009 RADIO SCIENCE, VOL. 44, RS2017, doi:10.1029/2008RS003956, 2009
Observation Comment: Parameter derived from ionosonde measurements. Provides estimate of maximum electron density at ionospheric F2 layer Performance Comment: Attributes for uncertainty and stability need still additional discussions among the community.
