Record‐low thermospheric density during the 2008 solar minimum (2010, background): “Although the statistical relationship between daily EUV and F10.7 is somewhat nonlinear [ Liu et al., 2006 ], F10.7 has proven empirically to be a reliable, well calibrated indicator of thermospheric density variations (including during solar minima), and its 81‐day mean values closely track indices”
Does the F10.7 index correctly describe solar EUV flux during the deep solar minimum of 2007-2009? (2011, background): “irradiance [e.g., Floyd et al., 2005; Lean et al., 2001; Liu et al., 2006]; and on the basis of these indices, solar EUV irradiance models, such as the EUVAC model [Richards”
IRI‐2007 model overestimates electron density during the 23/24 solar minimum (2010, background): “During the minimum years 2008 and 2009 CHAMP was cruising at altitudes of 320–340 km, and GRACE stayed between 450 and 470 km. According to observations by L. Liu et al. [2006] the F2 peak height during solar minimum stays below the altitudes of the two spacecraft.”
Climatology of the mean total electron content derived from GPS global ionospheric maps (2009, background): “The saturation effects at high F10.7 have already been reported in NmF2 and TEC [e.g., Balan et al., 1994; Chen et al., 2008; Liu et al., 2003, 2004, 2006; Richards, 2001; Su et al., 1999].”
