Investigations of small scale structure of ionisation in the D region using a Langmuir probe
Abstract
Electron density profiles were measured on two rocket flights flown from Woomera using a nose tip Langmuir probe. Partial reflection of 2 MHz radio signals, used as a technique to measure winds in the ionosphere, have shown preferential heights of enhanced reflection. A knowledge of the electron density would help in determining the reason for these preferred heights.
