Backscatter Ionogram Inversion by Ray Tracing Methods.

Abstract

This report describes a computerized method for deducing ionospheric parameters from the measurement of backscatter leading edge ionograms. A number of test cases are presented to demonstrate this technique. The technique is documented through the use of a complete program listing, a sample output, and a set of flow charts for the major computer subroutines. (Author)
