STUDY OF STELLAR SCINTILLATION

Abstract

From the scintillation records taken at 4 receivers on an east-west line, the components of the apparent velocity of individual peaks of intensity of the ground pattern were computed for each of the 3 segments of the east-west path. Systematic accelerations were found which show that the ionospheric model for scintillation production should be re-examined and that drift velocities computed for the ground pattern may be due to local action in the ionospheric layer and not to transport of the layer.
