Analysis Of Ionospheric Vertical Soundings For Electron Density Profile Data

A tentative model for the F region above hmax is provided to permit extrapolation of electron density profiled into this region. The model corresponds to a simple "Chapman" curve, and may be fitted to true height data (obtained in Part 1) by a simple graphical process.

This bibliography comprises a non-exhaustive compilation of over 1400 references to the world's literature in the ionosphere with special emphasis on its effect on reflection, refraction or propagation of electromagnetic waves. The frequencies involved are usually in the low frequency or long wave bands in contrast to those (UHF, VHF and SHF) involved in tropospheric propagation investigations although the pulsed technique at vertical or slant incidence makes use of a wide range of frequencies.
