Abstract
An attempt was made by the author a few years ago to combine the geometrical approach of Putter and the statistical approach of Briggs and Spencer to the problem of ionosphere drift measurement. The combination gave rise to a method of wind measurement which was nearly as simple as that of Putter and yet vigorous enough to eliminate the effect of random changes in the ground diffraction pattern. However, the method could not be proved valid when the ground pattern was statistically anisotropic. The present paper develops a method involving the use of five statistical parameters and a few simple algebraic formulae, which takes into account the effects of random motion as well as anisotropy. The intuitive clarity of the geometrical picture is, however, unfortunately lost.
