Ionospheric Models for Prediction and Forecasting

摘要: A comprehensive knowledge of the Earth’s ionospheric structure and dynamics, in particular its refractivity profiles, is necessary to guarantee effective operation, planning, management numerous radio communication navigation systems. These can be based either on: (1) advanced models coupled across space-terrestrial environment, providing detailed conditions good predictions; or (2) specific well-targeted services that provide products like specification data, post-event analysis, long-term predictions, instantaneous nowcasting short-term forecasting generated real near real-time response available observations.
