The Low-Latitude Ionospheric Sensor Network (LISN) offers an unprecedented science opportunity by providing a distributed and dense set of observations of the low-latitude ionosphere in the South American longitude sector. LISN is currently collected data from GPS-TEC monitors, VIPIR ionosondes, and magnetometers to provide new insights into ionospheric electrodynamics and instabilities at low latitudes between the northern and southern Appleton anomaly regions. We present the early results of a detailed physics-based analysis of the data to draw out physical understanding of the ionosphere, the neutral winds, and the electrodynamics of the South American sector. The diverse data sets from LISN are used in combination with a Monte Carlo exploration of ionosphere representations generated by physics-based models of the ionosphere and its electrodynamics. This physics-based 'data-processing' methodology generates a consistent representation of the ionosphere and its drivers within the LISN region. The self-consistent drivers and ionosphere will permit investigations into underlying causes to ionospheric variability and instability. The first effort being performed on the data-model merging is the comparison of the representations of the ionosphere, neutral winds, and electrodynamics with independent data sets. Simulated C/NOFS observations of electric fields, neutral winds, and electron densities will be generated from the LISN data-model representations for comparison with C/NOFS results.
