Triton: Topside ionosphere and nitrogen escape [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 1990 The principal ion in the ionosphere of Triton is N+. Energetic electrons of magnetospheric origin are the primary source of ionization, with a smaller contribution due to photoionization. To explain the topside plasma scale height, we postulate that N+ ions escape from Triton. The loss rate is 3.4 × 107 cm−2 s−1 or 7.9 × 1024 ions s−1.

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2020 The analytical description of the topside ionosphere included in the NeQuick model is studied in detail. First, the modeled scale height behavior is analyzed at infinity and for the lowest part of the topside region; in the latter case, the analysis is ...

Topside ionospheric vertical electron density profile reconstruction using GPS and ionosonde data: possibilities for South Africa [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2011 Successful empirical modeling of the topside ionosphere relies on the availability of good quality measured data. The Alouette, ISIS and Intercosmos-19 satellite missions provided large amounts of topside sounder data, but with limited coverage of ...

Altitude Extension of the NCAR‐TIEGCM (TIEGCM‐X) and Evaluation
Space Weather, 2022 The upper boundary height of the traditional community general circulation model of the ionosphere‐thermosphere system is too low to be applied to the topside ionosphere/thermosphere study.

Comparing TOPEX TEC measurements with IRI predictions [PDF]
, 2008 TEC values obtained from TOPEX satellite were compared with the International Reference Ionosphere (IRI) 2001 model estimates. The present work also shows results of the IRI model with the option of a new topside electron density distribution (NeQuick ...
