Abstract Since the first edition of IRI in 1978, considerable efforts have been directed towards an improved and refined electron temperature description. Finally, a new empirical model was presented at the COSPAR meeting at Graz, Austria, in 1984 /1/. Based mainly on satellite data it highlights a more detailed diurnal, seasonal and altitudinal variation. We describe the implementation of this model into the IRI framework. A first comparison with incoherent scatter measurements indicates the improved diurnal and seasonal performance of the model.
