[en] This paper presents a comparison of ionospheric vertical total electron content (vTEC) values evaluated from Nicosia (35.1 N, 33.4 E) ground-based GPS station in Cyprus and the corresponding predictions with the latest version of the NeQuick model during periods of low (2008), and high (2001) solar activity for different seasons. According to the study the NeQuick predictions generally underestimate vTEC values during high solar activity periods and overestimate vTEC values during low solar activity periods.
