Abstract
Using the ionospheric data measured with DPS-4 digisonde at Hainan station,we study the diurnal and seasonal variations of ΔB2,the seasonal median values of B2best and parameter R(ratio of B2best to B2NeQuick 2) in the ionosphere.The results show that there are some differences between B2best and B2NeQuick 2 in all seasons and B2NeQuick 2 is generally less than the values of B2bot at Hainan station. Meanwhile there is the same diurnal variation for R in different years during moderate solar activity and the annual variation of R is very small.Then,we make a revision for formula of NeQuick and results of revised formula show that the B2bot of NeQuick is better consistent with the observations.
