Title: Effect of the ionosphere on C3I systems

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6513211

Geomagnetic and auroral disturbances cause significant interference on communications, navigation, and radar systems. Therefore, it is essential to develop a geomagnetic and auroral storm prediction scheme which can provide necessary information in evaluating the interference well before a major geomagnetic storm. The prediction of auroral disturbances and of the F-layer trough development is especially significant for the operation of HF systems at mid and high latitudes. For these reasons, the author has been developing a practical numerical prediction scheme, that can predict storm characteristics, oval diameter, and trough parameters with a 6-12 hour lead time.
