Investigations of small scale structure of ionization in the D region using a Langmuir probe
Abstract
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 is used in determining the reason for these preferred heights. This paper presents electron density profiles, measured on two rocket flights flown from Woomera using a nose tip Langmuir probe.
