EQUATORIAL STUDY OF IRREGULARITIES IN THE IONOSPHERE

Abstract

A number of experiments which were designed to investigate F region irregularities by means of the back-scatter technique are described. The experimental techniques are described briefly, and the results given in detail. The results show the seasonal and nocturnal variations in the occurrence of irregularities which scatter 18 Mc/s. signals, the size and drift velocity of patches of irregularities, the height at which the irregularities occur, and the motion of the irregularities, as opposed to the motion of the patch. The results are discussed in the light of information obtained by other workers using different techniques.
