(a) Altitude profiles of the LPW-measured electron temperature, T_e,measured (green circles), and the LIB-balanced electron temperature, T_e,balanced (gray circles) for dayside measurements, with solid lines denoting mean values at each altitude. (b) Similar to panel (a), but for T_e,measured and the empirically corrected electron temperature, T_e,corrected. (c) Probability density distribution of the residuals, defined as (T_e,corrected − T_e,balanced)/T_e,balanced.
