ON NATURE OF IRREGULARITIES THAT PRODUCE PARTIAL REFLECTIONS OF RADIO WAVES FROM LOWER IONOSPHERE (70-100 KM)

The irregularities that produce the partial reflection of radio waves (1.5–6.0 MHz) from the D region are investigated. Experimental evidence indicates that reflection usually occurs from localized irregularities rather than from a region of smaller scale turbulence. Copyright 1969 by the American Geophysical Union.
