| Abstract: | A rocket C.W. radio propagation experiment has been used to measure electron density profiles and the results compared with values calculated from ionograms. In general the agreement is satisfactory but significant discrepancies in the rocket measurements, during the up-leg portions of several rocket flights above 110 km were observed and possible causes are discussed. In one flight the effect of a travelling ionospheric disturbance on the N(h) profile was recorded. Sporadic E strata with thicknesses of 0.6–0.8 km were recorded in these flights. |
