Three distinct datasets derived from https://ccmc.gsfc.nasa.gov/models/IRI~2016/.
NeVLFpropinclin5.dat -
Electron density profile collected from https://ccmc.gsfc.nasa.gov/models/IRI~2016/ for Jan 2020 at a resolution of 1km, then interpolated smoothly to a resolution of 0.1km with no abrupt jumps.
NiVLFpropinclin5.dat -
O+ ion density profile taken from https://ccmc.gsfc.nasa.gov/models/IRI~2016/ for Jan 2020 at a resolution of 1km, then interpolated smoothly to a resolution of 0.1km with no abrupt jumps.
NiHplusVLFpropinclin5HighlatAmerica.dat -
H+ ion density profile collected from https://ccmc.gsfc.nasa.gov/models/IRI~2016/ for Jan 2020 at a resolution of 1km, then interpolated smoothly to a resolution of 0.1km with no abrupt jumps.
Data were collected from the free online available International Ionosphere Reference (IRI) database ( https://kauai.ccmc.gsfc.nasa.gov/instantrun/iri) for January 1, 2020. The data were then interpolated from 1km to our desired resolution of 0.1km. This is is profile used to simulate the 3D FDTD models to observe the propagation of power line harmonic radiation through the ionosphere.
