Propagation modes might be:

ground wave
Sporadic E
F2
EME
Field Aligned Irregularities
Rain or snow scatter
Tropo scatter
Aurora
Aurora E
Aircraft scatter
Temperature inversion
Ducting
weather front inversion

Sometimes a particular path is a combination of modes, some sort of
tropo to get to the end of a duct or the right point for a sporadic E
reflection.

They ARRL book, Beyond Line of Sight, discusses most of these as does
G3SEK's VHF/UHF book.
