Short summary

A study was conducted on the main ionospheric trough using the Electron Density Assimilative Model (EDAM). The idea was to compare results of the feature by using GPS data to results from a different method conducted in the past. The results showed that using GPS assimilated data, the feature could be modeled effectively when compared to the previous method, which shows the capability and potential of the model to study ionospheric features. This was the main purpose behind the research.
