G02: Impacts of the Ionosphere on Radio Systems: Products as the Result of Models and Theory including Maps, Forecasts, and Alerts

Monday, August 18  09:40-10:40,  Room #14

Session Chair: Paul Cannon

Knowledge of the behavior of the ionosphere is very important for radio systems. A wide variety of ground based and satellite existing and future systems (communications, radar, surveillance, intelligence gathering, satellite operation, etc.) is affected by the ionosphere. There are the needs for reliable and efficient support for such systems against natural hazard and minimization of the risk failure. This session is devoted to science, techniques and to more application oriented areas of ionospheric investigation in order to support radio systems such as GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) and HF radio systems. Requested topics concern the studies based on data mining philosophy increasing the knowledge of ionospheric physical properties, modeling prediction and forecasting capabilities and gain applications of various procedures in ionospheric monitoring and forecasting, international and national activities embedded in joint integrated efforts.
