This accuracy affects the geophysical interpretation of the data as well as the possibility of using the topside sounder to calibrate ground-based techniques such as the incoherent backscatter radar. There are two possible sources of errors in the electron density profiles derived from topside sounders. The first one is associated with the method of converting the observed ionograms to true-height profiles. References Bourdeau, R. E., E. C. Whipple, J. L. Donley, S. J.
