Abstract

The index of integral solar activity F10.7 is one of the main input parameters of existing ionospheric models, including the model used at early-warning radar stations to compensate for coordinate information errors; the use of external sources of F10.7 seems to be impossible. A method is presented for highly reliable estimate of the solar X-ray flux values at a wavelength of 10.7 cm based only on the capabilities of the station itself.
