| Abstract: | COSTprof is an empirical three dimensional ionospheric model which has been adopted in its regional monthly median form as an end product of the COST 251 Action. As this, it uses monthly median maps for the critical frequencies foE, foF1 and for the F2-layer transfer parameter M(3000)F2. For some applications COSTprof would gain in value with a refined E-layer and E-F1-transition formulation of the International Reference Ionosphere (see Rawer et al., 1981). We report on possibilities to join the two models together, producing a hybrid model with the IRI E-layer and E-F1 transition and the COSTprof formulation above. We also report on profile joining problems in general and present possible solutions with emphasis on improving the electron density profiles in E-layer heights. |
