“…It has been found that the long term models ICEPAC ASAPS and SIRM&LKW give satisfactory performances for the prediction of the median values of the MUF. More important, comparing the performances of the now casting methods SIRMUP&LKW and ISWIRM&LKW with the long term prediction methods, it was found that the now casting models always give better results over the two radio links (Zolesi et al, 2008). These results can be considered preliminary because this study was conducted on a very limited number of days.…”

Critical to the ionospheric monitoring and modelling processes whether they are related to the theoretical investigations, the space weather prediction services or the planning and operation of radio systems is a modern network of ground-based synoptic instruments making regular measurements. A short review of the principal types of ionospheric ground-based measurement networks currently available in Europe is followed by brief survey of the particular problems associated with a timely and user-friendly fashion of data delivery for assimilation purposes.

Abstract. An ionospheric forecasting empirical local model over Rome (IFELMOR) has been developed to predict the state of the critical frequency of the F2 layer (foF2) during geomagnetic storms and disturbed ionospheric conditions. Hourly measurements of foF2 obtained at the Rome observatory, hourly quiet-time values of foF2 (foF2 QT ), and the hourly time-weighted accumulation series derived from the geomagnetic planetary index a p (a p (τ )), were considered during the period January 1976-December 2003. Under the assumption that the ionospheric disturbance index log(foF2/foF2 QT ) is correlated to the integrated geomagnetic index a p (τ ), statistically significant regression coefficients are obtained for different months and for different ranges of a p (τ ) and used as input to calculate the short-term ionospheric forecasting of foF2. The empirical storm-time ionospheric correction model (STORM) was used to make comparisons with the IFELMOR model. A few comparisons between STORM's performance, IFELMOR's performance, the median measurements and the foF2 QT values, were made for significant geomagnetic storm events (a p >150) occurring from 2000 to 2003. The results provided by IFEL-MOR are satisfactory, in particular, for periods characterized by high geomagnetic activity and very disturbed ionospheric conditions.
