OBSERVATIONS OF IONOSPHERIC BEHAVIOR DURING THE SOLAR ECLIPSE OF 20 JULY 1963 AT BEDFORD, MASSACHUSETTS,

Abstract

Observations of the ionosphere during the 20 July 1963 solar eclipse at Bedford, Massachusetts are presented. A C-4 vertical incidence sounder was used. Critical frequencies and virtual heights of the ionosphere are plotted and compared with a 10-day average curve. Ionograms of the time of first contact, maximum eclipse and fourth contact are included. A series of optical photographs of the sun in eclipse, taken at ground level, are presented. (Author)
