Abstract
This standard provides guidelines for selecting ionospheric models for engineering design or scientific research. The Guide describes the content of the models, uncertainties and limitations, technical basis, databases from which the models are formed, publication references, and sources of computer codes for 46 ionospheric models. The models cover the altitude range from the Earth’s surface to approximately 10,000 kilometers. This Guide is intended to assist communication (C3I) and space system designers and developers, geophysicists, space physicists, and climatologists in understanding available models and comparing sources of data and interpreting engineering and scientific results based on different iono-spheric models. Approval of an American National Standard requires verification by ANSI that the requirements for due process, consensus, and other criteria have been met by the standards developer. Consensus is established when, in the judgment of the ANSI Board of Standards Review, substantial agreement has been reached by directly and materially affected interests. Substantial agreement means much more than a simple majority, but not necessarily unanimity. Consensus requires that all views and objections be considered, and that a concerted effort be made toward their resolution. The use of American National Standards is completely voluntary; their existence does not in any respect preclude anyone, whether he has approved the standards or not, from manufacturing, marketing, purchasing, or using products, processes, or procedures not conforming to the stan-dards. The American National Standards Institute does not develop standards and will in no circum-stances give an interpretation of any American National Standard. Moreover, no person shall have the right or authority to issue an interpretation of an American National Standard in the name of the American National Standards Institute. Requests for interpretations should be ad-dressed to the secretariat or sponsor whose name appears on the title page of this standard.
