  • Abstract
    An extension of the multisegmented quasiparabolic model of ionospheric electron density to include the F1-layer L condition is described. Provisional results illustrating the effects of this on ranging estimates from single station location HFDF systems are discussed. It is concluded that a knowledge of actual ionospheric conditions at the time of observation are important for such systems to improve ranging estimates, especially when L conditions are present.
