Table 3

Comparison of the maximum electron density and its altitude for various cases using a different electron temperature profile.

Te Max e density (cm−3) Max e density at 1−σ (cm−3 ) e density peak (km)
Tn 4.2 × 104 [2.7–6.4] × 104 367
300 K 6.0 × 104 [3.9–9.2] × 104 367
10 Tn 8.0 × 104 [5.2–12.2] × 104 367
1230 K 1.0 × 105 [6.5–15.3] × 104 367

Notes. The 1σ interval is computed with the uncertainty factor of 1.53 that was calculated at the electron peak in Sect. 5.2 for the Te = Tn case.
