| Abstract: | Estimates of the height of the F-layer peak based on formulations using the ionospheric transmission factor M(3000)F2 are compared with hmF2 derived from the real height analysis of digital ionograms acquired at a mid-latitude station. Based on the analysis of 27 hours of quiet data, our result shows that the M(3000)F2 methods are highly accurate and that the formulation developed by Bradley P. A. and Dudeney J. R., (1973, J. atmos. terr. Phys. 35, 2131) is most accurate. |
