This paper presents a new method to reconstruct the vertical electron density profile based
on vertical Total Electron Content (TEC) using the simulated annealing algorithm. The
present technique used the Quasi-parabolic segments (QPS) to model the bottomside
ionosphere. The initial parameters of the ionosphere model were determined from both
International Reference Ionosphere (IRI)(Bilitza et al., 2014) and vertical TEC (vTEC). Then,
the simulated annealing algorithm was used to search the best-fit parameters of the …
