Abstract
Abstract In this paper, we developed an efficient regional three‐dimensional data assimilation model focused on the middle‐to‐high latitude ionosphere in the Northern Hemisphere. The model employed the Empirical Canadian High Arctic Ionospheric Model (E‐CHAIM) as the background, which was specifically optimized for high‐latitude applications and has demonstrated exceptional performance in the northern high‐latitude regions. Utilizing a three‐dimensional variational (3DVAR) method and incorporating extensive slant total electron content (TEC) observations, the model achieves near‐real‐time computation of the three‐dimensional electron density distribution. The spatial‐temporal resolution of the reanalyzed three‐dimensional electron density product is 2.5° in latitude, 5° in longitude, with altitude intervals of 20 km between 80 and 500 km, 100 km between 500 and 1,000 km, 500 km between 1,000 and 3,000 km, and a temporal resolution of 15 min. To assess the effectiveness and accuracy of the model, we performed extensive comparisons with observational data from various sources, including the GNSS vertical TEC, ionosonde foF2, electron density profile derived from ionosonde measurements and COSMIC radio occultation data. Independent verification confirmed that the data assimilation results align well with these observations. Leveraging on the data assimilation output, we reconstructed critical high‐latitude ionospheric structures and phenomena during geomagnetic storms, such as the storm‐enhanced density (SED), the tongue of ionization (TOI), boundary blobs, polar cap patches, and the electron density enhancement in the auroral particle precipitation region, and characterized their three‐dimensional spatial distributions well.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
