Abstract

Bistatic lunar reflection of 99.4-Mc signals was used to determine the total integrated ionospheric electron density. On November 13, 1960, fast, irregular changes in the received signal polarization occurred during the time that a visible aurora was observed along one leg of the bistatic path- After sunrise on the same day slow, regular Faraday polarization rotation was observed. It is suggested that the ordinary and extraordinary ray components that travel along slightly different paths may have encountered small, high-velocity ionospheric irregularities, thus producing unusual signal phase changes.
