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

摘要

Ionosonde data were taken from two high-latitude Arctic radio links in order toinvestigate 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.
