Cover Story: With recent expansions in Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Radio Occultation (RO) constellations, which provide over 20,000 daily measurements, improved Electron Density Profile (EDP) extraction methods will enable truly global ionosphere monitoring. While many studies have focused on the GNSS-RO estimates of the F-region, only a few have focused on E-region electron densities, which play a vital role in ionospheric conductivity. In this study, a new bottom-up approach for estimating the D- and E-region electron density profiles is compared with the ionosonde and FIRI estimates. The results show general agreement between the ionosonde and GNSS-RO observations in the E-region, and the D-to-E-region transition in the RO profiles match the FIRI trends, substantiating this bottom-up approach to global studies of the lower ionosphere.
