Scientific paper

Values of the global distribution of electron content have been obtained with the dual frequency altimeter on the TOPEX satellite. These values have been compared with those obtained by height integration of electron density profiles from International Reference Ionosphere (IRI). Although discrepancies between observations and models were found to occur at all latitudes, the largest differences tend to occur in the vicinity of the equatorial anomaly and at high latitudes. The differences also exhibit a K(sub p) dependence. The amount by which the IRI underestimates electron content appears to increase with increasing K(sub p) at low latitudes but to decrease weakly with increasing K(sub p) at high latitudes.
