The electron density specification of the ionosphere is the key parameter supporting many operational products. To assess the accuracy of tools based on space weather models of the ionosphere one must know the accuracy of the underlining models. The Arecibo Radar Observatory (ARO) provides an Incoherent Scatter Radar (ISR) database with extensive observations of ionospheric parameters over a broad range of solar cycle, season, local time, and geomagnetic activity. We have carefully examined these ionosphere profile data to apply thoughtful uncertainties related to the ARO measurement, analysis, and ionospheric representation for the background ionosphere. The full database with uncertainties is then used to generate a climatology model for the ionosphere above ARO with uncertainties and weather variance. The ARO ionosphere databases (profiles and climatology) will be used as the 'ground truth' to assess ionospheric models using space weather and climatology metrics. The Assessment of Ionospheric Models package will be provided to Community Coordinated Modeling Center (CCMC). However, herein we present the analysis of uncertainties and weather variances associated with the ARO ionosphere profile database and climatology.
