Beacon satellite studies and modelling of total electron contents of the ionosphere
Abstract
An attempt is made to highlight some of the beacon satellite studies, particularly those relating to total electron content (TEC) and scintillations, with special attention to indian subcontinent observations. The modeling of TEC is described. The scope of new experiments for specific problems is indicated.
