As a basis of the long-term prediction of frequency selecting for HF communication, a model based on statistical machine learning method is proposed to improve the accuracy of predicting the monthly median ionospheric critical frequency of the F2 layer (identified as foF2), which is one of the key parameters for predicting usable frequencies for HF communication. The annual dynamic variation map of the proposed model is achieved by the two solar activity parameters of the 10.7-cm solar radio flux and sunspot number. And the geomagnetic dip latitude and its modified value are first together chosen as features of the geographical spatial variation for reconstructing spatial dynamic variation map. The proposed model can provide higher prediction accuracy for foF2 over Asia. Compared with the international reference ionosphere (IRI) model with CCIR and URSI coefficients (identified as IRI-CCIR and IRI-URSI), the root-mean-square error of the proposed model is reduced by 0.27MHz and 0.23MHz respectively, and the accuracy is improved by 2.90% and 1.85% respectively. |
