Models for the ionospheric component of space weather are needed for a wide range of applications. For example, any remote sensing techniques that use radio waves traveling through the ionosphere, looking up from the ground or down from space, must correct for the retarding, refractive, and scintillation effects of the ionospheric plasma. Two types of models are used for this purpose: theoretical, physics-based models and empirical, observation-based models. Status and progress regarding the latter were reviewed during a workshop in Prague, Czech Republic, from 10 to 14 July 2007.
