Description: Single-frequency altimeter measurements require an estimate of the signal retardation effect in the ionosphere. Ionospheric models like the International Reference Ionosphere (IRI) are being used to obtain these correction factors. Incorporation of worldwide ionosonde measurements is discussed as a way towards more accurate predictions. Using measurements of the F peak critical frequency (foF2) from more than 70 ionosondes Ac have derived (hour and month dependent) regional and global ionospheric-effective solar indices. Replacing the solar index in IRI with these new indices we could improve the IRI estimates for the GEOSAT time period (1986-1989) by a few percent.
