SEAIONO: A Windows software tool to extract ionogram dataset from South East Asia Low-Latitude Ionospheric Observation Network

Abstract

Analysis of the ionospheric parameters on the ionogram is important for the study of ionospheric physics and related field. This paper introduces an application program tool used for extracting ionospheric profile parameters on the ionogram from the South East Asia Low-latitude Ionospheric Network FMCW ionosonde measurement. The software runs under Windows operating system and has a user-friendly graphical user interface to accept alphanumeric input entry. In addition to the parameters on the ionogram dataset, the SEAIONO reader program is capable of computing the maximum height of the ionospheric F2 layer and the bottomside ionospheric F2 layer (B0).
