In the study the critical frequency of the F2-layer of the ionosphere data obtained at Ionospheric Observatory of Tomsk State University are analyzed. The analysis focuses on the study of the spectral composition and determining the longterm trends values of foF2. For the spectral estimation the anharmonic decomposition method is used. The result of research is establishing the dependence of a long-period trends character, periods values and the amplitudes of variations of foF2 values caused by the eleven-year cycle of the Sun activity and orbital movement of the Earth on time of a day and a season of year.Keywords: critical frequency of the ionospheric plasma, spectral analysis, a trend, seasonal and daily variations.
