VLF/LF Reflectivity of the Polar Ionosphere

Abstract

This report provides a summary of high-latitude ionospheric reflectivity data, as observed by the USAF high-resolution VLF/LF ionosounder operating in northern Greenland. Ionospheric reflectivity parameters, including reflection heights and coefficients, are presented as a function of time of day. Riometer and magnetometer measurements of the polar propagation environment are presented as supplementary data.
