Abstract:

The Ionospheric Diagnostic Section of the Upper Air Physics Branch, Space Sciences Division requires understanding similarities and differences between polar and equatorial spread-F irregularities. This report discusses equatorial investigations with major technical, scientific and engineering advances contributing to the current understanding and future plans for adaptive communications system design and ionospheric modification and control. In this report, the S3-4 satellite data analyses is summarized. Author
