Comparison of Two Groundbased D-Region Experiments

Abstract

THE two most useful groundbased experiments for studying D-region electron densities are the partial reflexion and the cross-modulation or wave interaction techniques. There has, however, been difficulty in finding common agreement between the results of these two experiments; this has been partly the result of the different conditions such as latitude and solar activity in which the comparison has been made. Here we compare the results obtained when the two experiments are performed at the same location and almost simultaneously.
