Ionospheric Analysis and Ionospheric Modeling.

Abstract

This report describes several investigations performed towards improving our ability to communicate through the ionospheric medium. These studies covered two distinct and separate areas. The first was concerned with improvements in ionospheric forecasting in the polar region through the development of empirical models for electron density profiles and ionospheric parameters. The second consisted of the study of various techniques for the establishment of high frequency communication circuit parameters. Attempts have been made to accurately determine ray paths for ionospheres with simple gradients without the use of three dimensional ray tracing techniques. (Author)
