Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes an experiment to observe the structure of radio echoes from the Antarctic ionosphere during 1968, and to thereby study the effects of traveling ionospheric disturbances. A 6-MHz CW signal transmitted from South Pole Station was received at Byrd, McMurdo, and Plateau Stations. Fluctuations in the received frequency were recorded by the Doppler method. Various features observed in the records are explained by ionospheric models involving electron drifts and atmospheric waves.
