A Synoptic Study of the Variability of Mesospheric Ionization in Winter.
Abstract
The research summarized includes a statistical study of the variability of mesospheric ionization in winter, three large stratospheric balloon flights, and a series of winter D-region rocket measurements. Also discussed is a Gerdien condenser measurement which showed widely separated mobility groups of mesospheric ions in the daytime. An explanation of the observed mesospheric ionization variability which involves sub-micron ice particulates has been published.
