Integrated model for short-term forecasting of ionospheric parameters

So far many kinds of methods have been developed for short-term forecasting of ionospheric parameters worldwide, hence various forecasted results can be got. An integrated model for ionospheric short-term forecasting is presented here which can integratedly use the various forecasting methods by giving each one proper weight and making full use of their advantages. A test for 1h~24h f_oF₂ forecast at nine ionospheric observation stations in China during one solar activity cycle(2000-2010) shows that the model is better than each single input method and the optimal result can be obtained.
