Abstract:

The report summarizes results for the electron density distribution and electron temperature of the F-region obtained during 1967 using the Millstone Hill Thomson incoherent scatter radar system. These data, for the height interval of approximately 200 to 800 km, were gathered over 24-hour observing periods twice per calendar month. The time required to obtain a complete electron density and temperature profile over this height interval was 30 minutes.
