A high-latitude ionospheric model is used to predict the diurnal variations of electron density which should be observed by the EISCAT, Chatanika, and Millstone Hill incorporated scatter facilities. The calculations take into account a strong convection model without substorms. The provided electron density predictions should be used to obtain an indication of the quantitative differences in measured electron density that are to be expected when the three radars probe the high-latitude ionosphere simultaneously. These differences vary with altitude, latitude, local time, and season, and are associated with the UT dependence of the high-latitude ionosphere which results from the offset between the geomagnetic and geographic poles. It was found that the three facilities should observe the greatest difference in electron density variations in winter.
