Abstract:

This report, prepared in three major sections, provides information on 1 Total Electron Content TEC Studies 2 Scintillation Studies and 3 Programming oriented toward the signal statistics and morphology of scintillation. In addition to description of phenomena in 1 and 2, effort has been exerted to produce detailed methods of extraction of valid data from strip chart recordings together with examples of the method applied and difficulties which a reductionist may encounter in such situations. Report is oriented toward the determination of a statistical model of variations in total electron content and of the global irregularity structure through the use of satellite beacon and signals.
