  3. Our HF long-haul link La Salle and the Observatori de l’Ebre have been sounding the 12,760 km ionospheric channel from Antarctica (62.7ºS, 299.6ºE) to Spain (41.0ºN, 1.0ºE) during the last 11 years. 3 F. Orga, D. Altadill, M. Hervás and R.M. Alsina-Pagès ECAS 2016

  4. System Antennas 4 F. Orga, D. Altadill, M. Hervás and R.M. Alsina-Pagès ECAS 2016

  5. Goals ➔ To prove the relation between the channel availability and the Sun phenomena afgecting the ionization in four consecutive sounding campaigns ➔ To demonstrate the importance of the Sunspot Number index concerning the ionization of the channel ➔ To study a first comparison between the four surveys and to focus in some specific transmissions as examples 5 F. Orga, D. Altadill, M. Hervás and R.M. Alsina-Pagès ECAS 2016

  6. Diagram of the sounding 6 F. Orga, D. Altadill, M. Hervás and R.M. Alsina-Pagès ECAS 2016

  7. A Narrowband-Sounding Frame 7 F. Orga, D. Altadill, M. Hervás and R.M. Alsina-Pagès ECAS 2016

  8. Availability and FLA for the last four surveys 8 F. Orga, D. Altadill, M. Hervás and R.M. Alsina-Pagès ECAS 2016

  9. Frequencies of Large Availability 9 F. Orga, D. Altadill, M. Hervás and R.M. Alsina-Pagès ECAS 2016

  10. Two examples of covariance in 2012-13 survey 10 F. Orga, D. Altadill, M. Hervás and R.M. Alsina-Pagès ECAS 2016

  11. Conclusions ➔ The narrowband propagation has strong dependence on the solar variations due to its influence in the ionospheric performance ➔ 1 st study: the higher the SSN, the higher the Sun activity and the better the performance of our channel in general terms ➔ 2 nd study: when analyzing the interday variation, a strong inverse dependency of the SNR and SSN is shown, delayed around 6 days 11 F. Orga, D. Altadill, M. Hervás and R.M. Alsina-Pagès ECAS 2016
