Standard tools for calculating the the world wide propagation conditions — like the Long Wave Propagation Capability (LWPC) code — usually rely on default procedures for modeling the day-night transition conditions that do not map reality sufficiently for modeling purposes, especially with regard to timing and shape of the terminators. We propose an improved method to cover with these problems by making use of the possibility to introduce charge density profiles into the LWPC that vary appropriately over the day-night cycle and additionally can model disturbances caused by forcing of the lower ionosphere from above (X-rays, particle precipitations) and below (atmospheric waves).","PeriodicalId":325870,"journal":{"name":"2011 XXXth URSI General Assembly and Scientific Symposium","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122205795","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The new technique improves the accuracy of the MOT as the resulting interpolation coefficients for the calculation of the impedance matrices became independent of the electrical distance of surface elements. Additionally, the analytical closed-form expressions for the evaluation of the remaining 1/R3-associated integrals allow the fast computation of the retarded matrices on demand.
