DISPEC Demonstrator

The Demonstrator offers access to DISPEC raw data and high-level data products and workflows. The content and the functionalities of the DISPEC Demonstrator is specified based on the Scientific Data Applications (SDAs) implemented in the course of the project and further adjusted to meet the requirements of the stakeholders.

The pre-selected SDAs correspond to data-driven models that provide critical characteristics required for reliable ionospheric specification, such as the electron density profile, the mapping of ionospheric irregularities and the radio signal propagation under irregularities, but also in-long term with the definition of proxies for the specification of abrupt high energy geophysical phenomena in long-term time series. The SDAs are as follows: 

• "SDA1: Digisonde data-driven electron density reconstruction model"  
• "SDA2: Modeling trans-ionospheric radio signal propagation"  
• "SDA3: Specification of slab thickness anomalies"  
• "SDA4: Proxies for geophysical phenomena and long terms trends"  

In the final phase of the project, the DISPEC data collections and software tools will be hosted in the PITHIA e-Science Centre for open use by the scientific community.
