Long-term changes in the dependence of <i>Nm</i>F2 on solar flux at Juliusruh by M. G. Tan Jun Rios, M. G. Tan Jun Rios, C. Borries, H. Liu, J. Mielich

“…The correlation is highest for F30 and MgII, especially under winter noon conditions, supporting the findings of recent studies that they are the best solar flux proxies for describing the <i>Nm</i>F2 dependence at all LT hours. Most importantly, the response of <i>Nm</i>F2 to solar flux shows a clear long-term change as the slopes of the model curves decrease with time for each solar cycle. …”
