ON THE RELATION OF IONOSPHERIC DOPPLER SHIFT, PHASE VELOCITY, AND INTEGRATED ELECTRON CONTENT.

Abstract

Difficulties are discussed which are inherent with unlimited use of the Differential Doppler method for satellite measurements. For precision, restriction is recommended to overhead passages and to closely related frequencies. The restriction applies to measurements of the ionospheric electron content, finding of geodetic positions, and to hybrid methods combining polarization and frequency measurements. (Author)
