IONOSPHERIC RESEARCH USING SATELLITES.

Abstract

An account is given of the equipment available for ionospheric studies at Nairobi and at the associated stations of Addis Ababa, Asmara and Dar es Salaam. Results are presented for the latitude and diurnal variation of total electron content and scintillations obtained using transmissions of the travelling satellites BE-B and BE-C and from the synchronous satellite 'Canary Bird'. Investigations of large scale irregularities in the equatorial ionosphere have been commenced.
