E-region ionospheric storm on May 1\textendash3, 2010: GSM TIP model representation and suggestions for IRI improvement

Abstract
<p>his paper presents the model simulation results of ionospheric E-region parameters during geomagnetic storm on May 2\textendash3, 2010. For this investigation we used the Global Self-consistent Model of the Thermosphere, Ionosphere and Protonosphere (GSM TIP) developed in West Department of IZMIRAN. GSM TIP model simulations were performed using empirical model of high-energy electron precipitation. The temporal and spatial distributions of the lower ionosphere parameters and minor neutral species are presented. GSM TIP model results of <em>E</em>-region parameters are compared with IRI-2012 model. The differences between model results are discussed.</p>
