Abstract
Based on data from a network of oblique-incidence sounding radio paths at mid-latitudes in the Asian region of Russia, a high (up to 40−50%) average-daily recording probability of the medium-scale traveling ionospheric disturbances in years of moderate solar activity has been identified. The daily variation in the recording probability of these disturbances at mid-latitude radio paths in the Asian region of Russia has a pronounced seasonal dependence. For the winter season, there is a daily maximum probability, reaching 100% on some days. In the summer season, it occurs at night hours of local time at the midpoint of the corresponding radio path. The most likely reason for this is the transition from winter to summer pattern of the atmosphere zonal circulation.
