In this paper a method for real-time updating of ionospheric electron density profile, N(h), over Europe using an ionospheric model and real-time measurements at ionosonde locations is considered. The N(h) profile update over European area has been simulated with the IRI-2000 ionospheric model and real-time N(h) profiles obtained from the COST271 Action Space Weather Database. Preliminary findings on N(h) behaviour over Europe and results of the N(h) maps are presented for the geomagnetically disturbed day on 24 May 2002 and quiet days on 19 February and on 4 May 2003. These results are discussed in the context of real-time N (h) profile updating capabilities and effectiveness.
