Abstract
In this paper the universal diurnal variation of f0F2 is suggested to be used as the characteristic of the global ionosphere condition. The method was elaborated to obtain the universal diurnal variation of f0F 2 by means of the Fourier series. This method allows us to use the sma ll number of the observatories for the analysis. The possibility to di stinguish the universal diurnal variation of f0F2 by the described met hod is shown as an example for December 1988 data (the period of the I nternational Program SUNDIAL).
