Scintillations ofVHF radio beacons from two satellites
Abstract
Analysis of scintillations ofVHF beacons from two very closely spaced geostationary satellites shows that the drift of irregularities is generally westward at the initial stages and changes to eastward during the later part of the night when the irregularities are fully developed or decaying.
