Abstract:

Ionospheric observations with a Digisonde system during upper atmosphere chemical releases were carried out at Wallops Island ALADDIN 74 in June 1974. Ionogram observations were combined with angle of arrival and Doppler measurements. Ionogram data of ALADDIN 72 and 74 were analyzed with reference to the chemical releases. Digital techniques were applied for the processing of the ionospheric data. The mobile digisonde 128 No. 1 was relocated several times between Eglin, Fla., J. F. Kennedy Space Center, Fla., and Wallops Island, Va.
