摘要: 由武汉电离层观象台实测的电离层F2层临界频率f0F2、3000km传播因子M(3000)F2的月中值资料,统计分析分别得出它们的经验模式,模式结果能够较好地再现这些参数的观测值.利用f0F2、M(3000)F2以及TEC的经验模式,获得F2层的峰值参数,输入到电子浓度的Chapman α函数中,推断出了电子浓度的高度剖面;将剖面在一定的高度范围内积分,得到该区域内的电子含量并与实际观测TEC相比较,结果表明,在100—1000 km高度范围内积分的电子含量与观测结果能够较好的符合.Abstract: Empirical models of ionospheric parameters f0F2 and M(3000)F2 is obtained respectively by analyzing the observed data in Wuhan ionosphere Observatory. In these models, a linear function to describe the relationship between the two parameters and solar 10.7cm flux index is applied, and Fourier series analysis is used to investigate the diurnal and semidiurnal variations of f0F2 over Wuhan, and variations of M(3000)F2 from the first step to the fourth step. The agreement between the prediction and the observed data is satisfactory. Then the NmF2 and hmF2 can be modeled from f0F2 and M(3000)F2; And the oxygen scale height HO can be calculated using the modeled TEC and NmF2. Supposing that the height distribution of electron density fits Chapman α function, the Ne profile is given by inputting the modeled NmF2, hmF2 and HO. By integrating the profile with height in certain range, is estimated the partial electron content and compared with the observed TEC. The result suggests that the electron content integrated from 100km to 1000km are in agreement with the observed TEC at Wuhan. This method is useful for investigating the electron profile of F2 layer around the top, which has scarce observed data.
