Abstract. We have applied the empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis to examine the climatology of the total ion density Ni at 840 km during the period 1996-2004, obtained from the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) spacecraft. The data set for each of the local time (09:30 LT and 21:30 LT) is decomposed into a time mean plus the sum of EOF bases Ei of space, multiplied by time-varying EOF coefficients Ai. Physical explanations are made on the first three EOFs, which together can capture more than 95% of the total variance of the original data set. Results show that the dominant mode that controls the Ni variability is the solar EUV flux, which is consistent with the results of Rich et al. (2003). The second EOF, associated with the solar declination, presents an annual (summer to winter) asymmetry that is caused by the transequatorial winds. The semiannual variation that appears in the third EOF for the evening sector is interpreted as both the effects of the equatorial electric fields and the wind patterns. Both the annual and semiannual variations are modulated by the solar flux, which has a close relationship with the O+ composition. The quick convergence of the EOF expansion makes it very convenient to construct an empirical model for the original data set. The modeled results show that the accuracy of the prediction depends mainly on the first principal component which has a close relationship with the solar EUV flux.
