Description

This paper presents the investigation into the variability of the maximum height of the ionospheric F2 layer (hmF2) over the South African region. The dependence of hmF2 on solar and magnetic activity is also investigated. An initial result shows larger hmF2 variability around midnight than during the day for all seasons.
