HighlightsImplementation the IRI-2012 data into the software for radio channel modeling.The algorithm optimization data retrieved from IRI-2012 to real time condition.Results of comparison between simulated by NIMIRI-RT and measured ionograms.

    AbstractThe HF propagation model, North Ionospheric Model and Ray Tracing (NIM-RT) was developed and tested for a number of years by comparing measured vertical and oblique ionograms over a number of radio links (especially in high latitude area) with the simulated ionograms. The present paper extends the model in order to include:Implementation of the data retrieved from the International Reference Ionosphere (IRI-2012) model into the software for radio channel modeling.The algorithm for IRI data optimization to the real time condition.Results of comparison between simulated and measured ionograms.Based on these updates, a new software tool called North Ionospheric Model with IRI and Ray Tracing (NIMIRI-RT) was developed, and a number of vertical ionograms corresponding to multiple ionospheric reflections was simulated. The vertical ionograms observed at various ionosondes were compared with the synthesized ionograms, generated by applying NIM-RT in conjunction with initial and optimized IRI data. The ionogram structure simulated by NIMIRI-RT based on the data retrieved from optimized IRI is more reminiscent to the observations than ionograms synthesized with the initial NIMIRI-RT without parameters optimization.
