Accurate quantification of the algebraic, multiplicative algebraic, and simultaneous iterative reconstruction techniques in ionosphere rebuilding based on the TIEGCM assessment by Ao Qi, HaiBing Ruan

“…In particular, in the longitudinal sectors where the iterative initial height of the F2-layer peak electron density (hmF2) differs substantially from the background densities, none of the three CIT methods can reproduce the exact background profile. When hmF2 is close but the ionospheric F2-layer peak density (NmF2) is different between the targeted background and initial conditions, the MART performs better than the ART and SIRT, as evidenced by the correlation coefficients of MART being above 0.97 and those of ART and SIRT being below 0.85. …”
