Ionosphere characteristics in the area of Katrina Hurricane propagation (September 24 - 28, 2005)
have been considered in this paper. Ionospheric parameters were determined using the ionosphere radiotranslucence
method (inclined paths) using GPS (Navstar) system. Graph of time variability of electron
content over the Katrina hurricane at the moment of its highest intensity, as well as electron content maps
and 3D ionosphere representations in the area of Katrinas propagation have been created using this
method. Changes in spatio-temporal distribution of electron content over Katrina hurricane on August
28, 2005 have been revealed.
Keywords: hurricane, ionosphere, radio-translucence method, GPS
