Abstract

We present the results of a special experiment carried out in the settlement of Zimenki, Nizhniy Novgorod province, on ionospheric vertical sounding by HF signals under F-spread using practically synchronous measurements of the multiple-ray nature of normal waves reflected from magnetoactive ionospheric plasma with ordinary and extraordinary polarizations at frequencies shifted by ∼ 0.7MHz. The experiment confirms the dominating role of large-scale electron-density inhomogeneities of the moving ionospheric disturbance type in the formation of middle-latitude F-spread.
