The Use of Two-Station Ionosonde Data for IONCAP/ASAPS Model Validation on Transpolar Two-Hop, High-Frequency Skywave Radio Links

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA284270 | Open PDF

Abstract:

Ionosonde data were taken from two high-latitude Arctic radio links in order to investigate two-hop high-frequency HF polar propagation. A comparison of the two-hop data measurements with both IONCAP and ASAPS predictions has validated the accuracy of the model for complex skywave radio links.
