Abstract :
This paper presents a comparison of ionospheric vertical total electron content (vTEC) values evaluated from Nicosia (35.1 N, 33.4 E) ground-based GPS station in Cyprus and the corresponding predictions with the latest version of the IRI model (IRI-2007) during periods of low (2008), and high (2001) solar activity for different seasons.
