High Altitude Atmospheric Investigations. Part I. Results of Ground-Based Radio Wave Absorption Measurements Performed between 1968 and 1976 in South-West-Europe (Spain): Phenomenology.

Abstract

Results of A3 absorption measurements performed in southern Spain between 1968 and 1976 are communicated. Some details of the experimental set up are described. The discussion is mainly confined to the shape of the diurnal variations. It turns out that this parameter has a distinct physical meaning which changes with season. The result suggests that this is caused by meteorological effects in the neutral atmosphere. Some examples which point into this direction are communicated. (Author)
