Abstract

Radar reflections from the moon have been studied utilizing the Trinidad, BWI, radar operating in the 400-Mc/s frequency range. The moon has been tracked from moonrise through transit during periods of sunset. On all occasions, the rotation of the plane of polarization (Faraday effect) was observed. Absolute values of the total electron content of the ionosphere deduced from these measurements and the electron content above the height of the F-layer maximum, evaluated from vertical-incidence ionospheric soundings recorded at the NBS Puerto Rican station, are presented.
