On the relation between phase path, group path and attenuation in a cold absorbing plasma

TL;DR: In this paper, the attenuation of a cold absorbing plasma in which the collision frequency is zero is considered and expressions for attenuation and the group and phase refractive indices are developed.

General formulae for absorption of radio waves in the ionosphere

TL;DR: In this article, the relationship between group path, phase path and absorption of radio waves is discussed and new approximations relating these quantities are presented, which are not restricted to quasi-longitudinal or quasi-transverse situations.

Calculation of HF absorption using the International Reference Ionosphere

TL;DR: In this article, values of vertical incidence HF absorption calculated using the International Reference Ionosphere (IRI) are compared with published values obtained using the A1 technique, and it is found that the IRI overestimates the absorption under most conditions, especially near the geomagnetic equator.

The use of full-wave solutions in the interpretation of ionospheric absorption measurements

TL;DR: In this article, a numerical method is developed for solving the equations of ionospheric wave propagation for vertical incidence, which neglects coupling, is used for the calculation of ionosphere absorption, and is applied in a preliminary interpretation of observed values of absorption.
