Routine Operation of Digisonde at Maynard, Massachusetts.
Abstract
Digital Ionosonde DGS 128-3 was operated and maintained at Maynard, Massachusetts, during the period from 31 August 1971 to 31 August 1972. Continuous monitoring of the ionosphere by vertical pulse sounding produced twelve months of ionospheric data for E- and F-region studies. Digital data, obtained for more than 98 per cent of the entire period, was recorded continuously on magnetic tape. Hourly ionograms were produced on-line by a printer using a special number font. Magnetic tape and hourly ionograms, collected daily, were reduced and scaled for seventeen URSI parameters and presented for publication in the AFCRL Geophysics and Space Data Bulletin. A unique calibration scheme was implemented which automatically recorded the system amplitude versus frequency response and system linearity. (Author)
