Abstract :
Comparison of the values of TEC calculated using the 6 versions of the empirical models of the ionosphere IRI and NeQuick with the experimental data shows that there is no single version providing a good agreement with experimental data at any point on the globe. That is why, there is no single version of the empirical N (h)-model although some advantages has the model of T. Gulyaeva. To determine the best version of the model for a given area it is proposed to use the global maps of TEC.
