WHISTLER-MODE PROPAGATION DATA NO. 2

Abstract

Routine data on whistler dispersion and on whistler-mode echoes from VLF-pulse transmissions are tabulated. The whistler data were obtained at Stanford, California 1 July to 31 December 1961), at Seattle, Washington (1 July to 31 October 1961 and 1 to 31 December 1961), and at Logan, Utah (1 to 30 November 1961). Data are sampled on a daily basis. The times of occurrence, values of dispersion at 5 kc, and the frequency and travel time at the whistler nose are tabulated. Data on whistler-mode echoes from VLF station NPG (Jim Creek, Washington, 18.6 kc) were obtained at Stanford, California. Hourly values of two-hop echo travel time, activity index, and quality factor for the period 1 November to 31 December 1961 are tabulated.
