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.

GEOMAGNETIC VARIATIONS IN THE FREQUENCY RANGE 2.5–12 HZ IN THE IONOSPHERIC F LAYER AS MEASURED BY SWARM SATELLITES
We have analyzed geomagnetic variations in the 2.5–12 Hz frequency range in the ionospheric F layer above the electron density maximum, using data from two SWARM satellites. The analysis is based on the data obtained und...
SOLAR ACTIVITY CYCLE 25: THE FIRST THREE YEARS
We analyze features of current solar activity cycle 25 for the first three years of its development (2020–2022). Compared to cycle 24, the current cycle is shown to exceed the previous one in the number of sunspot groups...
ALFVÉN WAVES IN THE MAGNETOSPHERE GENERATED BY SHOCK WAVE/PLASMAPAUSE INTERACTION
We study Alfvén waves generated in the magnetosphere during the passage of an interplanetary shock wave. After shock wave passage, the oscillations with typical Alfvén wave dispersion have been detected in spacecraft obs...
EFFECT OF LARGE-SCALE INHOMOGENEITY OF SOLAR WIND VELOCITY ON DISTRIBUTION OF DIRECTIONS OF INTERPLANETARY MAGNETIC FIELD VECTOR
Using data with hourly resolution obtained in near-Earth heliosphere in 1965–2014, we have calculated statistical characteristics of the angles describing the direction of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF): root-me...
PARTIAL PONDEROMOTIVE FORCES OF ALFVÉN WAVES IN NEAR-EARTH PLASMA
In the study of the ponderomotive action of Alfvén waves on near-Earth plasma, the general formula for ponderomotive forces, known in classical electrodynamics of continuous media, was previously used. The formula does n...
