Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using the method of Rush and Gibbs (1973), weighted means of observed values have been used to update the global prediction of f(o)F2, which are based on monthly median values derived from the Institute of Telecommunications Sciences model (1969). This procedure improved the predictions for magnetically quiet periods, for times near minimum of the solar cycle phase, and for the equinoctial months. Furthermore, a closer grid of ionosonde stations resulted in reducing the error in the f(o)F2 prediction. For the method of Rush and Gibbs (1973) to be operationally successful in global predictions of f(o)F2 however, a closer grid of ionosondes than is presently available is needed. (Author).

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 2012-12-06 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ionosphere of the Earth has been actively studied since the 1920's, following the discovery of ground radio-sounding. By means of this method results were ohtained by an international network of ionospheric stations, in particular, by the successful implementation of a number of rigorously planned international scientific research programs,'" enabling the collection of extensive experimental material on some of the most important parameters of the ionosphere - the critical freLjuencies of E-, Fl and F2-layers. Comprehensive analyses of these observation data give a fairly complete picture of the various changes taking place in the principal ionospheric layers at different points on our globe. Another important aspect of the study of the ionosphere, which has been in progress for the past three decades, is an extensive program of in situ determinations of the various physical parameters - first using rockets, and subsequently artificial satellites. The data thus obtained on the principal ionizing agent - short-wave solar radiation - and on the physical conditions prevailing in the upper atmosphere and in the ionosphere at different altitudes, allow the proposal of a self-consistent mechanism of ionosphere formation. A general outline of the theory of ionosphere formation at different altitudes is now complete. Its application to specific cases, dependent on a more accurate determination of input parameters to give solutions valid for a definite set of conditions etc., is yet to be accomplished. The use of artificial satellites in cosmic research yielded abundant scientific data.
Download or read book Improving FoF2 Prediction for the Sunrise Transition Period written by B. S. Dandekar and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 2- to 3-hr sunrise transition period, the relative change in foF2 is 20-60 percent per hour and is independent of solar activity. The change is largest in winter and smallest in summer. To prevent the skip distance from changing by more than 250 km, that is, to maintain continuous illumination of at least 50 percent of the barrier (nominal width 500 km), requires that the operating frequency be changed for every 6 percent change in foF2. Thus, in the case of an OTH system, the operating frequency has to be adjusted during the sunrise period every 6 to 20 min (seasonal dependence) for satisfactory performance. To accommodate such rapid changes, an empirical algorithm has been tested for improved foF2 predictions during sunrise. The prediction scheme is based on the availability of relevant (under the oblique raypath) real time ionospheric data.

This book was released on 2005-08-15 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using the kind permission given to me by my co-author, this short preface will be written in my name. I want to devote this book to San Juan city in Argentina. It is not only due to the fact that the city was twice completely destroyed after the devastating ear- quakes in 1941 and 1977, but also because my stay there completely changed my life. Changes included changing my career from the field of space plasma physics to Earth sciences and geophysics, and changes in my personal life giving me h- piness and compliance in my present family. Going back to the subject of the book, it should be noted that the history of the question asked by the book is very complicated and intricate. Starting in the 1930s from the observation of seismogenic electric fields, the area of seismo-ionospheric coupling became an area of fighting and conflicts, hopes and frustrations. Spe- lation and misunderstanding on the interdisciplinary borders made this field for many years (even up to now) taboo for so-called "serious scientists". But due to the courageous efforts of several groups in Russia and the former USSR states such as Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, Japan, later France and Taiwan, Greece and Italy the situation started to improve.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Numerical methods are developed for producing worldwide, long-term predictions of ionospheric characteristics. The methods are based on analyses of series of coefficients defining numerical maps, which take into account both annual and solar cycle variations of the ionosphere. The end product is a five-dimensional numerical map depending on two geographic coordinates, time of day (universal time), time of year, and solar index. Predicted numerical maps in geographical and universal time coordinates are obtained by specifying the month and a predicted value of solar index. The methods are applied to foF2 monthly medians, using for the analysis a series of 60 numerical maps from January 1954 through December 1958, Predicted and observed values of the characteristics are compared for a large sample of data.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paper describes recent progress made at ITSA (formerly CRPL) to improve numerical methods for mapping and predicting ionospheric characteristics used in telecommunication. Two major problems are considered; (1) tendency of maps to smooth out physical properties of the ionosphere, particularly at low latitudes and (2) ambiguous values at geographic poles and resulting distortions in immediate surroundings. The second problem is overcome by means of a universal time analysis. Significant improvement is made in the first problem by the use of a modified magnetic dip coordinate. A general description is given of the new procedures for forming numerical maps, including a number of illustrations. Also included are a discussion of the use of numerical maps in the revised form and a Fortran Program for evaluating numerical maps of ionospheric characteristics and for calculating the MUF(SERO)F2 and MUF(4000)F2.

This book was released on 1975 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An automated objective analysis procedure was developed to represent the global distribution of selected ionospheric parameters on a daily basis. The analysis scheme enables the incorporation of observations or predictions of ionospheric parameters from random locations on the globle into a synoptic mapping technique that yields updated values of the parameters at specific grid points. In this report, the steps taken in the development of the analysis procedure and the accuracy of the results of global mapping of the F2 region critical frequency are described. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Empirical modeling has been a useful approach for the analysis of different problems across numerous areas/fields of knowledge. As it is known, this type of modeling is particularly helpful when parametric models, due to various reasons, cannot be constructed. Based on different methodologies and approaches, empirical modeling allows the analyst to obtain an initial understanding of the relationships that exist among the different variables that belong to a particular system or process. In some cases, the results from empirical models can be used in order to make decisions about those variables, with the intent of resolving a given problem in the real-life applications. This book entitled Empirical Modeling and Its Applications consists of six (6) chapters.
