Abstract

Ionospheric wind patterns were measured by means of chemiluminous gas trails in the altitude region 90–130 km from sunset to midnight on December 3, 1962, and from sunset to dawn on May 17–18, 1963, over Eglin Air Force Base, Florida (86°W, 30°N). Patterns of variations in wind profiles through the night are reported, and certain generalizations are noted. The relationships between altitudes of maximum wind shears and altitudes of simultaneously observed sporadic E are also reported.
