Backscatter Sounding During Ionospheric Storms
Abstract
The results of the ionospheric sounding by ground backscatter carried out at Torrechiaruccia (S. Marinella, Roma), during some severe ionospheric storms from August 1957 to February 1961, are briefly discussed. The advantages of the backscatter sounding to study the morphology of an ionospheric storm over a large area are put in evidence. The observed displacement of the perturbed zone may be explained as the result of the superposition of the storm components. During an ionospheric storm, the echoes from the non disturbed zone show a stronger intensity and a wider extent than in normal conditions.
