We present the forecast results of maximal usable frequencies for mid-latitude paths on the base of complex We present the results of forecasting maximum usable frequencies (MUF) on middle-latitude paths on the basis of complex algorithm including modules of the ionosphere and plasmasphere global model (IPGM) and the model of radio wave propagation. The computation of propagation characteristics for decameter radio waves is carried out within the framework of normal wave technique. IPGM developed in ISTP SB RAS enables to compute electron concentration profiles and effective frequency of collisions using minimum number of input data and taking into account physical processes in the Earth’s upper atmosphere. To estimate the efficiency of using IPGM in long-term forecast of radio wave propagation we computed MUF for radio communication in various heliogeophysical conditions. To obtain precision characteristics of MUF forecast we used experimental data of oblique sounding on Magadan–Irkutsk, Khabarovsk–Irkutsk, Norilsk–Irkutsk paths. The paths are equipped with modern ionosphere diagnostic hardware for oblique sounding by continuous chirp signal. We also compared results of MUF forecast using IPGM with computations carried out according IRI model.

In this paper we present the results of studies the distinctive features of the decameter radio wave propagation based on the results of experimental measurements of radio wave propagation characteristics by the ionospheric oblique sounding (IOS) method and numerical simulation. An algorithm for numerical modeling the trajectory and energetic characteristics of the decameter radio wave propagation in the framework of geometric optics is described. The agreement between the simulated and experimental radio propagation parameters (for example, the values of the maximum observed frequencies) is demonstrated. It is proposed to use the developed diagnostic model of the HF radio channel for the purposes of forecasting in areas not provided with IOS stations.
