Correction of Height Profiles of the Electron Density of the IRI Model by Vertical Sounding Data

摘要

Method of stable solution of the problem of vertical sounding ionograms inversion into height dependences of the electron plasma frequency of the ionosphere is presented. For this purpose, the correction of the IRI-2016 model is used in regions invisible for the ionosonde. Recovered in the lower ionosphere profiles for daytime conditions make it possible to correctly evaluate the absorption of HF radio waves.
