High-Frequency (HF) Radar Propagation

Purpose: HF Propagation Sample Plot
The primary purpose of the High-Frequency (HF) Propagation system is to provide AFWA the capability to monitor high-latitude HF propagation conditions in near-real time. Specifically, the software uses real-time data collected by the SuperDARN network of HF radars to determine ionospheric F-region critical frequencies and MUF as a function of range from the radar.

Input:
SuperDARN data

Output:
MUF maps
F-region critical frequency maps
