Abstract

The polarization fading rate of the 54-Mc/s radio transmissions from the Transit 4A satellite is used to obtain a ‘best fit’ Chapman distribution for the ionospheric electron density. The results lead not only to the total electron content but also to mean values of ionospheric scale height. These scale heights are shown to vary with time of day and solar activity.
