Abstract:
The diurnal variations of the ionosphere over the deat Wall Station reveal theWeddell Sea Anomaly in the summer. In this paper, the diumal variations of f
0F
2 andhm are simulared by using a one-dimensional and hme-dependent theorehcal model.We studied the effects of the neutral wind and O
+ flux on f
0F
2 and h
m and concludedthat one reason why simulated f
0F
2 are greater than measurements is the upperboundary values are overeshmated by IRI. In the last part of the paper, a method forobtaining the actual f
0F
2 and h
m is presented.
