This paper presents results of comparisons of the Field Line Interhemispheric Plasma (FLIP) model with ionospheric data collected during the International Physical Year from the Poker Flat Incoherent Scatter Radar (PFISR) in Alaska. With regard to peak electron density (NmF2), the FLIP model is in good agreement in the spring but consistently underestimates the measured NmF2 in summer by a factor of 2. The data show frequent G conditions where the daytime peak electron density occurs below 200 km. This paper will discuss possible causes of the observed behavior as well as temperature and neutral wind variations.
