Abstract:

This report presents measurements of the electron density profile made during a period of intense travelling ionospheric disturbance activity. The electron density profile was determined using a swept frequency r.f. impedance probe, and compared with ionograms from an ionosonde located directly below the rocket trajectory. Author
