Seasonal variability in virtual height of ionospheric F2 layer at the Pakistan atmospheric region

The aim of this study was to assess the seasonal variability in virtual height of ionospheric f2 layer for pakistan's atmospheric region (par). in this communication virtual height variations have been analyzed by the descriptive statistical techniques. these methodologies comprise an autoregressive strategy,linear regression and polynomial regression. the relevance of these models has been illuminated using predicted values of different parameters under the seasonal variation of ionospheric f2 layer in virtual height that affect the radio wave propagation through the ionosphere. these techniques are implemented to theorize the physical process of varying the virtual heights that leads this study towards formulating the variations due to interaction of radio wave propagation with this ionospheric layer. © pakistan academy of sciences.
