HmF2 and FoF2 are optimized using an iterational loop through Non-Linear Least Squares method. HmF2 and FoF2 are obtained for various locations including Turkey for the same quiet day. Results are compared with ionosonde data where available. This study enables the modification and update of empirical and deterministic IRI Model to include instantaneous variability of the ionosphere. © 2011 IEEE.EnglishCritical frequenciesF2 layerInternational reference ionospheresIonosonde dataNon-linear least squaresPlasmasphereIonosphereIonospheric measurementMagnetosphereOptimizationLeast squares approximationsConference Paper10.1109/URSIGASS.2011.6050879
