Abstract:

This dataset accompanies the paper titled "Quantifying the Impact of Solar Irradiance Uncertainty on Thermosphere-Ionosphere Variability Using Ensemble Forecasts." The study examines the sensitivity of the thermosphere and ionosphere to variations in solar spectral irradiance. Ensemble simulation experiments were conducted for the 2021/2022 winter period, using both data-driven and parameterized solar irradiance perturbations to assess their impact. The ensemble spread in electron density and neutral temperature is used as a measure of the system's sensitivity to changes in solar irradiance. Simulation results are also compared with satellite observations from Swarm, ICON, and COSMIC-2. files with string "euvac05" are result from EXP1 on table 1 in the paper. files with string "euvac15" are result from EXP2 on table 1 in the paper. files with string "data" are result from EXP3 on table 1 in the paper. files with string "data_doubled" are result from EXP4 on table 1 in the paper. Files beginning with "cosmic_doy" contain the results of comparisons between the ensemble simulation experiments and COSMIC-2 electron density observations. The "doy" portion represents the three-digit day-of-year (DOY) identifier. Files beginning with "icon_might_x" contain the results of comparisons between the ensemble simulation experiments and ICON neutral temperature observations. The "x" indicates the instrument identifier, either MIGHTI-A or MIGHTI-B. Files beginning with "swarm_x" contain the results of comparisons between the ensemble simulation experiments and SWARM neutral density observations. The "x" indicates the instrument identifier, either SWARM-A or SWARM-C.

Citation counts are compiled through information provided by publicly-accessible APIs according to the guidelines developed through the https://makedatacount.org/ project. If journals do not provide citation information to these publicly-accessible services, then this citation information will not be included in RDA citation counts. Additionally citations that include dataset DOIs are the only types included in these counts, so legacy citations without DOIs, references found in publication acknowledgements, or references to a related publication that describes a dataset will not be included in these counts.
