The virtual height of the F1 layer, h'F1
Unlike the f1 layer critical frequency, the virtual height of the F1 layer was
measurable from both data sets around ninety percent of the time. Although
this may seem contradictory, this is because the virtual height of any F2
trace is defined as h'F if there is only one F layer visible in the data. The
common data were highly correlated and each month gave a gradient between 0.91
and 0.97. When the data from the spring equinox is considered, the gradient is
found to be 0.99.
