Scientific paper

Quasi-parabolic (QP) ionospheric layers may be grouped into families on the basis of the value of the parameter L. When the highest frequency reflected from a QP layer and the associated group path is used to normalize the leading and trailing edges of backscatter ionograms of QP layers from the same family, virtually identical curves result. Since the leading edges of the normalized curves do not vary greatly from one QP family to another, the analysis of leading-edge data alone will not yield a unique QP layer solution unless accuracy and noise conditions are nearly ideal. Different sections of a leading edge may be analyzed to obtain different QP layer fits to obtain such parameters as those of the E- and F-layers.
