Short summary

The monthly averages of the F2 critical frequency (foF2), its peak height (hmF2), and the E-region critical frequency (foE) acquired by the DPS4-D installed in Santa Maria, Brazil, is compared to the International Reference Ionosphere (IRI-2016) model predictions. It is important to test the performance of the IRI over Santa Maria because it is located in the SAMA, which is a region particularly important for high-frequency (HF) ground-to-satellite navigation signals.
