On the Installation, Operation, Data Reduction, and Maintenance of VHF Electronic Polarimeters for Total Electron Content Measurements.

Abstract

This report gives practical, explanatory information on the installation, operation, and maintenance of VHF Electronic Polarimeters and on the reduction of data for computations of ionospheric total electron content (TEC). It should be used by Air Weather Service maintenance and observer personnel engaged in making real-time TEC measurements, and it can also be used by personnel engaged in making TEC measurements for scientific studies. Many aspects of the experimental problems associated with TEC measurements are presented in this report. (Author)
