Lb. Vanina et Ad. Danilov, Relation between the F2 region and parameters of the stratosphere: Fine structure of the effect, GEOMAG AERO, 40(6), 2000, pp. 776-778
The relation between the parameters of the stratosphere measured with meteo
rological balloons and the critical frequency in the F2 region was consider
ed. It was shown that a sufficiently high positive correlation between the
altitude of 100 hPa level and f(0)F2, previously found by the authors on th
e basis of the data Collected in April-June 1996, 1997, and 1998, has also
been observed during this period in 1999. The correlation between h(100) an
d f(0)F2 in the other. periods of the year sharply varies and even changes
its sign. The analysis of the fine structure of the variations in both para
meters relative to the mean curve indicates that a sufficiently high correl
ation exists between the values for a time lag of a few days.
