Abstract

The IS measurements of power profile by the MU radar at Shigaraki (34.9°N, 136.1°E) are analyzed to give IRI's B-parameters, B0, B1 for 1986-1991. Empirical formulas are obtained to represent their variations as functions of local time and season at high solar activity. They are compared also with ionosonde ones for Wuchang (30.5°N, 114.4°E)
