COMMENT: IPS Preliminary HF Communications Warning 8 was issued
on 13 February and is current for 16-17 Feb. IPS SWF HF Communications
Warning 9 was issued on 13 February and is current for 14-15
Feb. Observed MUF's for the UT day 14 Feb were above the monthly
predicted values. The outlook for 15 Feb is for MUFs to remain
near the monthly predicted levels. This is anticipated due to
enhancements in charge densities in F-region of the ionosphere
during the periods preceding the onset of geomagnetic storms.
MUF are expected to degrade below the monthly predicted levels
during the recovery phase (after UT day 16 Feb) of the geomagnetic
storms. Shortwave fades are possible due the flare potential
from Region 2497.
