Study and Interpretation of Low Angle Fluctuations from the Radio Star Cassiopeia as observed at Ithaca N.Y.,

摘要

A general description of the phase-switching interferometers used in this experiment is given in Section II. An obtuse-angle reflector antenna specially devised for the high angle observations in this experiment is also described in this section.nThis experiment is, however, more concerned with the low angle observations Yagi antennas were used. In Section III fluctuation data for the lower transit of Gassiopeia are analyzed. This aspect of the experiment is discussed in Section IV, and these results are compared with those of ionospheric drift measurements by reflections methods performed by Chapmanin Canada and by Briggs and Spencer in England, who found that the drift velocity of the E-layer irregularities is perceptibly independent of the k-index for values of K up to 4.
