Resumen:
The objective of this paper is to check the validity of IRI model to predict the maximum critical frequency of the F2 region (foF2) and its height (hmF2) using ionosonde observations recorded at Buenos Aires , Argentina
(34.6° S, 301.7° E; modip: 32.2° S). Data corresponding to different seasonal and solar activity conditions have been used. CCIR and URSI options are used to model calculations. The results show that, in general, the predictions of hmF2 are better than those of foF2. Disagreements between observed and predicted foF2 values have been found, but in most of cases the deviations are not higher than 20%.
