An experimental contribution to the question concerning the existence of couplings between planetary pressure waves in the troposphere and the D-region of the ionosphere
Abstract
Fluctuations in short-wave absorption effects involving periods with lengths in the range from days to many weeks and similar fluctuations in ground atmospheric pressure appear to indicate that, at least occasionally, a coupling exists between the planetary waves produced by meteorological processes in the troposphere and the phenomena in the upper atmosphere. Studies conducted in Spain involved a measurement of wind and air pressure variations in the altitude range from 75 to 95 km with the aid of foil clouds and simultaneous ground measurements of anomalous absorption of short waves. The significance of the obtained data is discussed.
