- Abstract
Many applications of HF propagation via the ionosphere (e.g. bearing-fingers, single station location, emergency systems and so on) demand an accurate description of ionospheric conditions. The International Reference Ionosphere (IRI) model is very often used for such a description. A lot of publications were devoted to the verification and improvement of this model. But most of them were based on data from vertical sounding ( VS). Not so many comparisons with oblique sounding results have been reported. Specifically, this concerns parameters of the maximum usable frequency ( MUF) and a ground range, D. In this paper errors of MUF and D determination by means of the IRI model are estimated on the example of the MOF data on Inskip-Rome path for December 2003. Adaptation of the model to current conditions by means of VS and total electron content TEC-GPS data is used to reduce these errors.
