Topside ionosphere electron density measurements on Ariel 4

Abstract
The accuracy and validity of the electron density measurements are discussed in terms of inherent system errors and those arising from satellite spin modulation effects. Comparative measurements with other independent techniques support the ± 5 % error figure quoted for the accuracy of relative electron density measurements and suggest that overall agreement to within individual experimental errors would be achieved for measurements of absolute electron density if the present values were about 10 % greater.
