Data Reduction and Analysis in the Area of Satellite Studies.

摘要

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.
