<name>DIDBase: Digital Ionogram DataBase, autoscaled records</name>
<description>
Digital Ionogram Database (DIDBase) collection contains vertical-incidence ionogram
measurements and ionogram-derived information acquired by Global Ionosphere Radio
Observatory (GIRO), https://giro.uml.edu, a network of ionosondes (high-frequency
remote sensing sounders). Ionosondes detect echoes of the probing signal of varying
frequency that correspond to reflections of the vertically transmitted signal from
various locations in the ionosphere illuminated by the signal. Resulting image of
the signal strength as function of the operating frequency and the time of flight
is called ionogram. When viewed in the ionogram frame, signal echoes form traces
that correspond to different plasma layers in the ionosphere. Interpretation of the
ionograms allows derivation and computation of actionable numerical information for
subsequent use in a variety of applied and research cases.
