Abstract
In order to check its usefulness for the IRI, incoherent scatter (I.S.) radar measurements at Arecibo (18.4° N, 66.7° W), for the solar minimum period of 1974-1977 are used to study equivalent slab thickness (EST) and its variability. While systematic diurnal changes are apparent, day-to-day and hour-to-hour fluctuations can also not be overlooked. This variability is examined in relation to the simultaneously measured F-layer peak height and electron temperature. While during nighttime, EST shows dependence upon the F-layer peak height (hmF2), it shows by day a dependence on electron temperature.
