Abstract

Estimates of the long-term changes in the ionospheric F2-layer parameters (slab thickness, total electron content, height, and maximal electron concentration) are presented and mutually compared. It is shown that these estimates mutually agree and show that both foF2 and hmF2 are decreasing during the recent decades.
