PREFACE

International Standard Organization (ISO) is an association of
national standard organizations (ISO participant committees).
International Standards are developed by ISO Technical Commit-
tees. Each of the participant committees is entitled to at-
tend sessions of any of Technical Committees when subjects of
interest to the former are discussed. The governmental,
non-governmental, and international organizations co-opera-
ting with ISO are also entitled to attend the sessions.

The draft of International Standards approved by Technical
Committees are sent to all of the participant committees for
consideration pending approval of the ISO Council.

International Standard "Space environment (natural and artifi-
cial). Earth's ionosphere and plasmasphere. Model of distribu-
tion of density, temperature and effective collision frequency
of electrons" has been developed by ISO/TC20 Technical Commit-
tee on Aircraft and Spacecraft, ISO/TC20/SC14 Subcommittee on
Space Systems and Operations, and ISO/TC20/SC14/WG4 Working
Group on Space Environment (Natural and Artificial).

In the present International Standard the appendixes A and B
are of informative nature only.

Space environment (natural and artificial)

Earth's ionosphere and plasmasphere. Model of distribution of
density, temperature and effective collision frequency of
electrons

1. SCOPE OF APPLICATION

The present International Standard defines the model of dist-
ribution of the mean monthly values of density, temperature
and effective collision frequency of electrons in the Earth's
ionosphere and plasmasphere in the height interval from 65 km
to 20000 km at any longitudes, at geographic latitudes from
80 north latitude to 80 south latitude, for any time of the
day, different days in a year and various solar activity le-
vels.

The present International Standard is employed to estimate the
effect of charged particles on technical devices in the
Earth's environment and to define the mean ionospheric opera-
tional conditions of available and designed means of radio
communication, radio navigation and other radiotechnical means
in the ranges of medium and heigher frequencies.

The present Standard shall not use to define parameters of the
Earth's ionosphere and plasmasphere to the periods of iono-
spheric storms or to the periods, when the index of geomagne-
tic activity Kp>3.

3. GENERAL STATEMENTS

3.1. The model of distribution of density, temperature and
effective collision frequency of electrons presented in the
present International Standard is developed by generalization
of the particular empirical (physico-statistical) models of
distribution of ionosphere and plasmasphere parameters,
developed by statistical processing of experimental data.

The models of distribution of Ne and Te are developed directly
using experimental data.The model of distribution of Nu is
calculated, values of Nu are calculated with the models of Ne,
Te and neutral atmosphere parameters by the formulae of
gas-kinetic theory.

Note - In the present International Standard values of Nu are
calculated with Ne, Te from this Standard and neutral atmo-
sphere parameters from the Groves model [1] and Jacchia model
[2]. See appendix B.

3.2. To determine parameters of the ionosphere and the plasma-
sphere at fixed heights for a selected geographic point it is
necessary to present:
- the geographic latitude in degrees (the north latitude
is given with plus, the south latitude is given with minus);
- the geographic longitude (eastern) in degrees;
- the date, (number, month) according to which the day
number in a year is determined;
- the local time in hours;
- mean smoothed the Wolf number.

Note - Duration of year is taken 365 days.

3.3. Mean values of Ne, Te and Nu are presented at some fixed
heights as the tables in a file param.tbl.

ISO WD

3.4. The tables are calculated for the following input data:
- geographic latitudes 80; 60; 40; 20; 10; 0 degrees for
the north hemisphere and -10; -20; -40; -60; -80 degrees for
the south hemisphere;
- geographic longitudes 30; 150 and 270 degrees;
- March, June, September, December (the parameter values
are refered to 15 number of each month, i.e. to the day num-
bers in a year 74, 166, 258 and 349, respectively);
- local time 0; 2; 4; 6; 8; 12; 14; 16; 18; 20; 22 h;
- Wm = 10; 100; 150;
- Kp = 3.

3.5. If present coordinates of a selected point and heliogeo-
physical conditions do not coincide with the data presented
in 3.4 the Ne, Te and Nu values are found by linear interpola-
ting the Te, common logarithms of Ne and Nu with respect to
height, time, coordinates, day number in a year and solar ac-
tivity.

3.6. The errors of Ne, Te and Nu values established by
Standard are determined as mean square deviations of relative
differences of these values and the experimental mean-monhtly
values for given heliogeophysical conditions.

3.7. The electron density error is:
- no more than factor 2 at heights from 65 km to 75 km;
- no more than 20% in the daytime and no more than 50% at
night at heights from 75 km to 100 km;
- no more than 10% in the daytime and no more than 30% at
night at heights from 100 km to 200 km;
- no more than 15% at low and middle latitudes
(иФ'и < 60 ) and no more than factor 2 at high latitudes
(иФ'и > 60 ) at heights from 200 km to 3000 km;
- no more than 30% at heights from 3000 km to 15000 km;

- no more than 50% at heights from 15000 km to 20000 km.

3.8. For the electron temperature the error is no more than
10% in the daytime and no more than 15% at night.

3.9. For the effective collision frequency of electrons the
error is no more than 20% below 110 km and is determined by
the errors of Ne, Te (see 3.7, 3.8) and neutral particle den-
sity (see [2]) above 110 km.

STRUCTURE OF INFORMATION PRESENTED IN THE TABLES

1. Information presented in the each table about mean values
of Ne, Te and Nu includes:
- information line (first);
- mean values of one of parameters for conditions given
in the information line.

2. An information line includes the following:
- table number;
- parameter name;
- number of the heights for which each parameter was cal-
culated;
- mean smoothed Wolf number;
- month;
- geographical coordinates (latitude and longitude in
degrees).

The information line was written in the
FORMAT (4X,I4,2X,A3,1X,I2,1X,I5,I4,2I5).

3. Mean parameter values are presented as follows. Each line
contains 13 numbers. First of them is a height in kilometers,
for which the calculations are performed, other 12 numbers are
calculated values of a parameter shown in the information line
for 0; 2; 4; 6; 8; 10; 12; 14; 16; 18; 20; 22 hours local ti-
me. Ne is given in m , Te in Kelvin, Nu in s . Zero parame-
ter values mean that under given conditions the model not
yield values of this parameter. The values of Ne and Nu were
written in the FORMAT (2X,0PI6,12(1X,1PE8.2)), the values of
Te were written in the FORMAT (2X,13(I6,1X)).

At latitudes where the mean plasmapause height is below 20000
7

ISO WD

km, the tables of Ne are limited by a plasmapause height from
above or 1000 km. Tables of Te and Nu are limited from above
by 1000 km or a plasmapause height (according to Ne) and 4000
km, if the plasmapause height is exceed 4000 km.

4. Tables of Ne, Te and Nu are grouped according to input
data.

First, values of Ne, Te and Nu are presented for conditions
given in 3.4 at Wm=10 (tables from 1 to 396) then at Wm=100
(tables from 397 to 792) and Wm=150 (tables from 793 to 1188).

Within one activity for the month and geographical latitudes
chosen the values are given of all three parameters for every
longitude. Then the values of all parameters are presented for
the next latitude in the same order. Information for other
months is presented similarly. The order of input data varia-
tion corresponds to the order given in 3.4.
