                         E-region critical frequency (foE) acquired during geomagnetically 
                         quiet days from September 2017 to August 2018. The monthly 
                         averages are compared to the 2016 version of the International 
                         Reference Ionosphere (IRI) model predictions in 15 order to study

                         available options (AMTB2013 and BSE-1979). The IRI-2016 model
