Proposed terminology for the classification and parameters for the quantification of variability in ionosphere morphology

Much uncertainty currently exists in the use by different workers of the term ?variability? in describing the results of statistical analyses applied to ionospheric measurement data sets and in their relationships with various existing or new ionospheric models. Often it is not clear whether data fo...
