Investigation of Small Scale Structure of Ionisation in the D Region using a Langmuir Probe.

Abstract

Partial reflection of 2 MHz radio signals, used as a technique to measure winds in the ionosphere, have shown preferential heights of enhanced reflection. A knowledge of the electron density would help in determining the reason for these preferred heights. This paper presents electron density profiles, measured ontwo rocket flights flown from Woomera using a nose tip Langmuir probe. (Author)
