Abstract

A method for estimating absorption value on the basis on one ionogram of a vertical sounding dynasonde was proposed. The main idea is that averaging the amplitudes of the signals reflected from the ionosphere is replaced over time by frequency averaging of the amplitude factor introduced by the authors. The amplitude factor was determined. The regularities of daily variations in the amplitude factor are discussed.
