ANALYZING EXISTING APPLIED MODELS OF THE IONOSPHERE TO CALCULATE RADIO WAVE PROPAGATION AND A POSSIBILITY OF THEIR USE FOR RADAR-TRACKING SYSTEMS. II. DOMESTIC MODELS
Journal Title: Solar-Terrestrial Physics - Year 2020, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
We consider the ionospheric models that are suitable for over-the-horizon HF and UHF band radars. Namely, there are three such models: the numerical model developed by IZMIRAN and Fedorov Institute of Applied Geophysics, the numerical model designed by ISTP SB RAS and IDG RAS, and the probabilistic model worked out by IDG RAS. We briefly describe these models and report the results of the analysis of their compliance with radar requirements. Probabilistic models are shown to be most promising; hence, they must be placed at the frontier of ionosphere simulation.

REVIEW AND COMPARISON OF MHD WAVE CHARACTERISTICS AT THE SUN AND IN EARTH’S MAGNETOSPHERE
Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves play a crucial role in the plasma processes of stellar atmospheres and planetary magnetospheres. Wave phenomena in both media are known to have similarities and unique traits typical of ea...
Solar activity and Earth seismicity
Using the results of continuous long-term observations over 50 years (including solar cycles 20–24), we study the relationship between Earth’s seismicity and solar activity. An increase in the number of strong earthquake...
PECULIARITIES OF 630.0 AND 557.7 NM EMISSIONS IN THE MAIN IONOSPHERIC TROUGH: MARCH 17, 2015
Peculiarities of 557.7 and 630.0 nm emissions observed in the second step of the magnetic storm main phase at the mid-latitude observatory Tory (52° N, 103° E) on March 17, 2015 are compared with the changes in ionospher...
AMPLITUDE VARIATIONS OF THE REFLECTED SIGNAL DURING VERTICAL SOUNDING OF THE IONOSPHERE AT MIDDLE LATITUDES
In this paper, we discuss the main types of quasiperiodic variations in amplitudes of a reflected signal during vertical sounding of the ionosphere at middle latitudes. The initial experimental data is vertical sounding...
