TERMINOLOGY AND SCALING PRACTICES

The symbols anc terminology used in this report are those adopted by the International Radio Propagation Conference, and given in detail on pages 24 to 26 of the report IRPL-C61, "Report, of International Radio Propagation Conference", and in the Section cn "Terminology"', in reports Lils'i~r°Fu, 2 p C, 4 , <j »

In the past, ionospheric conditions were summarized or. a monthly basis by using average or mean values, for each hour of the day, for each month. The advantages of vising median, instead of average values, were such, however, that beginning with data for 1 Jan. 1S45, median values were used by the IK PL wherever possible. Consequently, all summarise ed data given in the IRFL-F series reports use median values, when such values are reported to the IRPL, or when detailed data are reported to IRFL to permit their calculation. Thus, median values are given for Washington, for all stations reporting directly to the IKPL, for the Canadian stations, and for all others sending in detailed tabulations to the IRPL.

where average values are reported, they are the average for ail days of the month; values missing for any reason are completely omitted from the average.

The monthly median values used here are the values equalled .or exceeded on half the days of the month at the given hour. The following conventions are used in determining the medians for hours when no measured values are given, because of equipment limitations am ionospheric irregu-

Symbols vised are those given in.the report referred to above,

all ionospheric characteristics} Values missing because of A, B, C or ¥ (see terminology

referred to above) are omitted from the median count.

critical frequencies and virtual heights j Values missing because of E are counted as equal to or less

than the lower limit of the recorder. Values missing because of L: are counted as equal to or greater

than the upper limit of the recorder. Values missing because of G are counted;

1. For f°F2, as equal to or less than f°Fl* 2. For h'F2, as equal to or greater than the median.

Values missing for any other reason are omitted from the median count.

muf factors (l.P-factors) j Values missing for any reason are emitted from the median count,

sporadic E (Es); Values of fEs missing because no Eg reflections appeared, the

equipment functioning normally otherwise, are counted as equal to or less than the lower limit of the recorder.

Values of fids missing for any other reason, am values of hEs

missing for any reason at all, are omitted from the median count.

. MONTHLY AVERAGE AND MEDIAN VALUES OF IONOSPHERIC DATA

The ionospheric data given her© in graphical and tabular form were assembled by the Interservice Radio Propagation Laboratory for analysis and correlation, incidental to IRPL predictions of radio propagation conditions* The following are the sources of the ionospheric data which appear in the IRPL-F series reports.

"Die tables of "provisional data" give values as reported to the IRFL by telephone or telegraph. Any errors in these values will be corrected in later issues of the F-series reports.

The tables and graphs of "final data" are correct for the values re¬ ported to the IRPL, but, because of variations in practice in the inter¬ pretation of records and scaling and manner of reporting of values, may at times give an erroneous conception of typical ionospheric characteris¬ tics at the station. Some of these errors are due to*

a. Differences in scaling records where spread echoes are present.

b@ Oids3ion of valuer where f°F2 is less than or equal to f°Fl, leading to erroneously high values of monthly average or median values®

c. Onission of values where critical frequencies are less than the lower frequency limit of the recorder, also leading to erroneously high values of monthly average or median values.

Hies® effects were discussed on pages 6 and 7 of the previous F-series reports, IRFL-Fl, 2, 3, 4, end 5. Discrepancies between predicted and observed values are often ascribable to these effects.

IONOSPHERIC DATA FOR EVERY DAY AND HOUR

These data, observed at Washington, D.C., follow the scaling practices given in the report IRPL-C61, "Report of International Radio Propagation Conference,” pages 36 to 39, and the median values are determined by the conventions given under "Terminology and Scaling Practices"above.

IONOSPHERE DISTURBANCES

Table 63 presents ionospheric character figures for Washington, D.C., during May, 1945, as determined by the criteria presented in the report IRPL-R5, "Criteria for Ionospheric Storminess", together with American magnetic K-figures which are usually covariant with than*

Table 64 gives provisional radio propagation quality figures for north Pacific areas, for 01 to 12 and 13 to 24 C-CT, January and February 194b, compared with IRPL daily radio disturbance warnings, the Iol.b daily warnings, the IRPL semiweekly radio propagation forecasts, and the half-day American geomagnetic E figures.

Tables 65 and 66 give similar quality figures and comparisons for the Forth Atlantic and Forth Pacific areas, Parch and April 1945.

The radio propagation quality figures were prepared from radio traffic data, reported to IRPL, in the manner described in detail in report IRPL-R13, "Ionospheric and Radio Propagation disturbances, October 1943 through February 1945," issued 24 May 1945.

NEW STATION

The one new station for which data appear in this report for the first time is St. John's, Fewfoundland (47.5°K, 52.7°,;), operated by the Canadian department of Rational defence. See Table 5.

ERRATA
