This book was released on 2013-09-25 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes how to predict and forecast the state of planet Earth’s ionosphere under quiet and disturbed conditions in terms of dynamical processes in the weakly ionized plasma media of the upper atmosphere and their relation to available modern measurements and modelling techniques. It explains the close relationship between the state of the media and the radio wave propagation conditions via this media. The prediction and forecasting algorithms, methods and models are oriented towards providing a practical approach to ionospherically dependent systems design and engineering. Proper understanding of the ionosphere is of fundamental practical importance because it is an essential part of telecommunication and navigation systems that use the ionosphere to function or would function much better in its nonappearance on the Earth and on any planet with an atmosphere.

This book was released on 1968 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main features of ionospheric-geomagnetic storms and their probable causes are reviewed. Disturbances in short-wave radio propagation during such storms are discussed. The principles of short-term prediction of ionospheric-geomagnetic storms are summarized and all kinds of Izmiran's forecasts are described. The application of these forecasts and current ionospheric data to calculation of usable radio propagation frequencies is explained. This Manualiis of interest to radio-communication operators as well as to geophysicists dealing with this field of science.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The results of a study undertaken to determine the feasibility of employing synoptic mapping to improve ionospheric forecasting capabilities are presented. Using electron density data obtained from 16 ionosonde stations located in North America and Greenland during the time period mid-April through July 1970, the temporal and spatial variability of the ionosphere was assessed.

This book was released on 1990 with total page 9 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Several climatological models predict ionospheric parameters. A few also predict HF circuit parameters, such as the maximum usable frequency (MUF). Using conventional sunspot number inputs, we compare ICED, RADARC, and IONCAP model prediction performance for the F2 layer critical frequency foF2. Monthly median, 5-day average, and daily sunspot numbers, which are based on the 10.7 cm. solar flux, are used for this purpose, along with the ICED effective sunspot number. Relating prediction points to ionosonde data of comparable corrected geomagnetic latitude, in conjunction with an effective sunspot number, improves prediction accuracy. Near-real-time (NRT) updates of an ionospheric model from observations at a single station is found to dramatically improve predictions of foF2 out to distances of thousands of kilometers, as compared with the use of a global sunspot number. Similar performance for other ionospheric and HF circuit parameters is indicated. For the purpose of NRT predictions of the entire electron density profile the use of two distinct sunspot numbers for the bottomside, coupled with one or more parameters for the topside, is suggested for model updates from a single station.

Download or read book Predicting the Day to day Variability of the Mid latitude Ionosphere for Application to HF Propagation Predictions written by Charles M. Rush and published by . This book was released on 1973 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hourly values of ground-based ionosonde data have been subjected to a detailed statistical analysis in order to determine the day-to-day variability displayed by various ionospheric regions. It is found that the standard deviation about the observed F2 region monthly median critical frequency is two to three times that observed in the E and F1 regions at mid-latitudes. The day- to-day variability of foE and foF1 is such that monthly median values of those parameters can be used to represent the daily variation in the E and F1 region. This would imply that HF prediction programs which rely on median data for specification of the ionosphere yield results that can be used in day-to-day operations for those propagation modes that are controlled by the E and F1 region. As the F2 region is highly variable, a method of using timely observations of foF2 to predict the expected values of the F2 region critical frequency has been developed. The method has the advantage that errors in predicting the monthly median foF2 can be averted and the predicted values are generally closer to the actual observations than the observed monthly median.
Download or read book Empirical Model in the Characterization of High Frequency Propagation in the Arctic Region written by Racheal Athieno and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of high frequency (HF) communication at high latitudes still forms the backbone of many systems, owing to the fact that there are few alternatives to HF radio for the merchant and fishing fleets, military forces (land, sea and air) and for the civil aviation industry for these latitudes. HF communication uses the ionosphere as a medium of propagation, but its variable nature can be a disadvantage to both the radio operators and users. The choice of a suitable usable frequency is thus dependent on the ability to predict the conditions of the ionosphere. Thus, HF propagation predictions can be inferred from the predicted conditions of the ionosphere. In fact, in most cases, the predictions of ionospheric conditions and HF propagation are often assumed to be identical. Hence, the need to develop ionospheric model(s) suitable for high latitudes to enable a relatively smooth operation of ionospheric-dependent radio communication. Most of the available models, particularly the empirical ones were developed with little data at high latitudes. Data availability has improved over the years due to technological advancement and continued research. For instance, the Canadian High Arctic Ionospheric Network (CHAIN) provides a wealth of data for the polar and auroral regions. Using CHAIN data, the performance of the Voice of America Coverage Analysis Program (VOACAP), Ionospheric Communication Enhanced Profile Analysis and Circuit (ICEPAC) and the recommendation 533 (REC533) propagation models was evaluated and some inconsistences were identified for each of the models. An additional study of ionospheric variability in the arctic region revealed that the currently available International Telecommunication Union Recommendation (ITU-R) variability factors demonstrate notable differences from observations during the winter and equinoxes. A model for the critical frequency of the F2 layer was developed using both CHAIN and Space Physics Interactive Data Resource (SPIDR) data. The model results show an improvement compared to the available baseline International Reference Ionosphere (IRI) model.
