Book Description
Using a method proposed by booker one can be describe the ionospheric electron density profile in a fully analytical way by using Epstein--functions. Since the practical applications of this idea runs into serious difficulties a solution to the encountered problems is presented. A combined function LAY is introduced which allows the particular peak condition to be automatically respected. A larger set of empirical profiles measured in W-Germany were analysed and conclusions drawn how the function parameters could be determined for profile modelling. Numerical proposals are made with this in view. While these profiles are for the middle ionosphere similar analysis is also executed for typical lower ionosphere profiles and representative parameters are given.
