INGV Nowcasting MUF map centered on Catania
===========================================

.. contents:: The tiny table of contents

Nowcasting map of Maximum Usable Frequency (MUF) and skip distance centered on Catania over an area extending in latitude from 34° N to 48° N and in longitude from 5° W to 20° E, which includes the whole Italian territory. Nowcasting map is generated every 15 minutes exploiting foF2 and M(3000)F2 data autoscaled at the ionospheric stations of Rome (41.8°N, 12.5°E) and Gibilmanna (37.6°N, 14.0°E). Nowcasting maps constitute a powerful tool because they let High Frequency (HF) users know in near real-time the radio propagation conditions. This turns out to be very valuable in terms of reliable radio links, especially in case of adverse space weather events.
