The main objective of DIAS (European Digital Upper Atmosphere Server) project is to
develop a pan-European digital data collection on the state of the upper atmosphere, based …

The Earth's ionosphere is a magnetoionic medium imbedded in a background neutral
atmosphere, exhibiting very interesting refractive properties, including anisotropy …

Past COST projects 238 (PRME) and 251 (IITS) encompassed a variety of efforts to forecast
and map the ionospheric plasma response to disturbed geophysical conditions over the …

An ionospheric forecasting empirical local model over Rome (IFELMOR) has been
developed to predict the state of the critical frequency of the F2 layer (foF2) during …

New systematic oblique ionospheric radio sounding measurements over Central Europe,
concerning the radio links between Inskip (UK, 53.5° N, 2.5° W) and Rome (Italy, 41.8° N …

The increasing demand for upper-atmosphere nowcasting services for operational
applications reveals the need for a realistic mapping of the ionosphere over Europe in real …

This paper concentrates on those major areas where our current physical understanding
and recent advances can lead to positive predictions of the expected effects of ionospheric …
