Short summary
This study explores how solar sunspot number (Sn) compares with other solar indicators like solar radio fluxes in predicting changes in Earth's ionosphere, particularly its critical frequency, over more than 60 years. The work finds that Sn, despite recent fluctuations in other proxies, remains the most stable predictor across all time periods. When adjusting for potential data saturation, Sn outperforms other proxies, providing a more accurate forecast of long-term ionospheric trends.
