“…This often hinders the investigation of day‐to‐day ionosphere variations, making it necessary to combine several days of measurements to generate a global density map. On the other hand, numerous studies have demonstrated the capability to reconstruct global ionosphere density through data assimilation techniques (Araujo‐Pradere et al, 2007; Bust et al, 2004, 2007; Chen, Lin, Matsuo, Chen, Lee, et al, 2016; Chen, Lin, Matsuo, & Chen, 2016; Chen et al, 2017, 2019; Fuller‐Rowell et al, 2006; Hajj et al, 2004; Hsu et al, 2014; Hsu, Matsuo, Yue, et al, 2018; Hsu, Matsuo & Liu, 2018; Komjathy et al, 2010; Lee et al, 2012, 2013; Matsuo & Araujo‐Pradere, 2011; Scherliess et al, 2006; Schunk et al, 2005; Sun et al, 2015; Wang et al, 2004; Yue et al, 2014). Recently, Lin et al (2015, 2017) developed the global ionospheric specification (GIS) data assimilation system that can provide global ionospheric electron density on an hourly basis.…”
