COST 296 Action is devoted to the mitigation of ionospheric effects on radio systems. It creates a platform for sharing data, algorithms, models, and jointly developed advanced technologies, the processing chain measurements-algorithms-operational knowledge. The Action includes the near-Earth space plasma monitoring, modeling and forecasting, study of the upper atmosphere climate, developing ground-based and space-borne monitoring techniques and parameters describing the state of ionospheric plasma, maintaining and extending the flow of real-time and retrospective ionospheric data to databases. Attention is paid to the data ingestion and assimilation in constructing ionospheric models of different spatial and time scale perturbations, as well as storms, small variations, and irregularities. The physical origin of atmospheric/ionospheric effects and their signatures and parameters are investigated. Identification criteria are studied and formulated.
