Abstract Deviations from horizontal stratification in the F-region can cause significant errors in electron density profile calculations from ionograms. Such situations exist every day during sunrise and sunset. Angle of arrival measurements and studies of the variation of other F-region parameters indicate that gravity waves are frequently strong enough to produce effects of comparable magnitudes. Ray tracing model studies permit a first order estimate of the resulting errors which are largest for the peak parameters.
