Abstract | The latest version of the International Reference Ionosphere (IRI-2016) is evaluated for ionospheric total electron content (TEC) over China during a high solar activity phase of 2014. TEC is derived from observations by the GNSS receiver network of Crustal Movement Observation Network of China (CMONOC). IRI-2016 uses the NeQuick option for the topside electron density profile. The comparisons shows that IRI-2016 underestimates GPS-TEC slightly in spring and winter, but overestimates slightly in summer and autumn at the mid-latitudes of 35 degrees N-45 degrees N. The deviation of TEC estimation is about 5 TECU at 35 degrees N-45 degrees N. As a whole, IRI-2016 underestimates GPS-TEC at the lower latitudes of 15 degrees N-35 degrees N, and the deviations of TEC estimation are about 4 TECU, 10 TECU, 26 TECU and 33 TECU in summer, autumn, winter and spring, respectively. The largest difference between IRITEC and GPS-TEC is about 50 TECU at the northern crest of equatorial ionization anomaly (EIA) in spring. There is an obvious winter anomaly for GPS-TEC, while it is not predicted by IRI-2016. Due to the influence of nighttime enhancement of ionosphere, the extreme latitudinal gradient of GPS-TEC appears after sunset in spring and winter, while it is not shown on that of IRI-TEC. Because of the equatorial fountain effect, the maximum time rate of GPS-TEC appears at the beginning of EIA (similar to 10:00-11:00 LT) in equinoxes, while it is not shown on that of IRI-TEC. The most rapid decrease of IRI-TEC appears after sunset (similar to 19:00 LT) in spring and winter, while GPSTEC quickly decreases at 22:00 LT. |
