The measurement of the lunar tide in the group height of the E-region on several frequencies

TL;DR: In this article, digital measurements of the group delay mode on six frequencies reflected from the E-region have been analyzed to render a lunar semi-diurnal tidal variation for several months in the Summer of 1971.

Distortion of the E-region by the Sq current system

TL;DR: In this paper, the amount of distortion of the E-region electron density at the magnetic equator caused by the Sq current system has been computed using measured electron density and current density profiles.
Journal ArticleDOI

Measurements of the distortion effect of the Sq current on the E-region

TL;DR: Rodgers and Butcher as mentioned in this paper investigated the distortion of the E -region by the Sq current system and found that the sign of the distortion in the group height was found to change with frequency although no change of sign occurred when the data was reduced to true height data.

Distortion measurements on the E-region using group and phase height measurements

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of distortions in the electron density profile of the E-region caused by the lunar and regular solar ionospheric currents, on the group and phase heights of radio waves reflected in the E -region was considered.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effect of solar and lunar currents on simultaneous phase path, group path and amplitude measurements

TL;DR: In this paper, the phase of the semidiurnal tide in the phase path and amplitude were similar, the maxima occurring near 0200 lunar time, whereas the group path had a maximum near 0800 lunar time.

Upper air pressure and density measurements from 90 to 220 kilometers with the Viking 7 rocket

TL;DR: The density and pressure of the atmosphere from 90 to 220 km above White Sands, New Mexico, were determined from the Viking 7 rocket flight on 7 August 1951 at 11:00 a.m. MST.

The phase and group paths of radio waves returned from region E of the ionosphere

TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured the changes of phase path of radio waves of frequency 2·4 Me/sec returned from Region E of the ionosphere, and showed that the daily variation of the phase path cannot be explained quantitatively on the assumption that Region E behaves as a simple Chapman region, although there is qualitative agreement with the theory.

Experimental investigations of the ionospheric E-layer

TL;DR: In this paper, the E-layer of the ionosphere has been studied by using high-resolution ionosondes and penetration-frequency measurements made from routine pulse soundings, giving a general picture of the variation of ionization during the day, with season and with latitude.

The measurement of a lunar tide in the phase height of the E-region.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe an attempt to determine the corresponding lunar influence on the phase height of reflection in the hope that this would give some help in the interpretation of the measurements.

Diurnal asymmetries in the sub-peak electron content of the E- and F1-regions

TL;DR: Using expanded-scale ionograms obtained at Aberystwyth, the integrated sub-peak electron content of both the E- and F1-regions has been calculated at quarter-hourly intervals over the day for the summer period 1962-1963.
