Description The electron density observations used for exospheric temperature extraction are collected from ionosonde at Mohe, Beijing, Wuhan, and Sanya.
'Mohe_ionosonde.mat' contains electron density with altitude and universal time from ionosonde at Mohe.
'Beijing_ionosonde.mat' contains electron density with altitude and universal time from ionosonde at Beijing.
'Wuhan_ionosonde.mat' contains electron density with altitude and universal time from ionosonde at Wuhan.
'Sanya_ionosonde.mat' contains electron density with altitude and universal time from ionosonde at Sanya.

Indices of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) Bz component, solar wind speed, proton density, Ap and Dst on May 5, 2024, are used to characterize the solar and geomagnetic conditions.
IMF and solar wind condition.txt includes the Bz, solar wind speed, and solar wind density.
Ap and Dst.txt contains the Ap and Dst indices.

EUV flux observed by the SOHO spacecraft and X-ray flux observed by the GOES-16 satellite are used to characterize solar radiation variations on May 5, 2024.
EUV20240505.nc contains solar EUV flux measurements.
Xr20240505.nc contains solar X-ray flux measurements.

Observations from the GRACE satellite are used to represent variations in neutral density.
GRACE20240504.cdf contains neutral density measurements from May 4, 2024.
GRACE20240505.cdf contains neutral density measurements from May 5, 2024.
