Abstract
In this paper, we present a conversion algorithm of the oblique ionogram obtained from Jeju and Icheon to the equivalent vertical ionogram of the path mid-point, based on some equivalence theorems between the vertical sounding and the oblique sounding for the ionosphere. And in order to verify the conversion algorithm under the condition of no vertical ionosonde at the mid-point on the test path, the equivalent vertical ionograms are compared to the real vertical ionograms measured adjacently in space-time. The comparison results show that the conversion algorithm performs well for the short-path oblique ionogram and the equivalent vertical ionograms could be applied to get the electron density profiles at the mid-point.
