Fig. 1

Diurnal and seasonal behavior of the simulated HF GB characteristics and corresponding ionosphere parameters. Left, middle, and right columns correspond to the E, F1, and F2 channels, respectively. Panels show the variations of the following characteristics: a minimum slant range, b elevation angle, c true reflection height, and d, e critical frequency and maximum height for electron density profile at the reflection region. Simulated data presented for beam #0 of the Hokkaido East SuperDARN, at an operating frequency of 11 MHz for 2 years, 2010 and 2014. Hereinafter, each characteristic is color-coded according to the bar to the right of the panel; local time and month are shown on the vertical and horizontal axes, respectively
