Ionospheric Research Using Satellites.

Abstract

The report reviews research carried on at Narssarssuaq, Greenland as follows: scintillation-measurements on the signal from the geostationary satellite ATS-3 (137 MHz); total elecktron/content-measurements, also from the ATS-3 satellite (137 MHz); scintillation-measurements on signals from the geostationary satellite LES-6 (254 MHz); Overhead passes of the Nimbus-4 satellite, giving scintillation recordings; and during shorter periods, recordings have been made of the two Solar Radiation Satellites, the SOLRAD-9 and the SOLRAD-10.
