• Variations of electron density based on long‐term incoherent scatter radar and ionosonde measurements over Millstone Hill (2005, background): “and suggest that the total effect of both solar EUV and neutral atmosphere changes on the solar activity variation of ionospheric ionization is linear with F10.7p .T he comparisons of measured and theoretical electron density as Richards [2001] did will help us in further understanding the seasona”

• Solar activity variations of nighttime ionospheric peak electron density (2006, background): “Observations indicate that parameters of the Earth’s ionosphere, such as the critical frequency (foF2), the peak electron density of the F region (NmF2), and the total electron content (TEC), are strongly controlled by solar activity in a rather complicated way [e.g., Adler et al., 1997; Balan et al”
• The International Reference Ionosphere 2012 – a model of international collaboration (2014, methodology): “The model of Richards et al. (2010) makes use of the fact that the photochemistry in the lower ionosphere is well-established as comparisons between model calculations and measurements have proven. So by normalizing the ion densities obtained with the FLIP model photochemistry to the IRI electron de”
• Does the F10.7 index correctly describe solar EUV flux during the deep solar minimum of 2007-2009? (2011, background): “EUV increases by as much as a factor of 3 over a SC [e.g., Hinteregger et al., 1981; Woods et al., 2005], which causes a significant SC modulation in the ionosphere [e.g., Bilitza, 2000; Richards, 2001].”
