Ionospheric depletions ("holes") due to rocket exhaust were simulated using a 8 general circulation model 9• Simulations agreed with observations regarding horizontal advection and diffusion of ionospheric holes, but overestimated their magnitude• Simulations found depletion from the FORMOSAT-5 launch, which was observed, to be larger than that from the Jason-3 launch, which was not
