Scientific paper

Results are presented for a study of published data on the ionospheric parameter f(min) in relation to the ionospheric absorption (L) of radio waves observed at a midlatitude station over a period of a half sunspot cycle. It is found that while these two quantities have some features in common, there are others in disagreement. The consistencies and inconsistencies in the relationship of f(min) with L are discussed in relation to (1) ionospheric conditions, (2) operating conditions of the recording equipment, and (3) background noise. Caution is advised with respect to the indiscriminate use of the f(min) data published in monthly bulletins as indicators of ionospheric absorption.
