Summary
The paper discusses the results of calculation of electron density—height profiles of the ionosphere in a highly disturbed period in July 1959 from the vertical soundings made at Ahmedabad. After a brief account of the method of calculation (following Schmerling and Thomas), tables of coefficients for calculating the true heights from theh′-f curves of Ahmedabad are given. Charts of equal electron density at intervals of 2 × 105 electrons/c.c. are presented for each day during the period 10 to 19 July.
An appendix is added giving the hourly values of maximum electron density NmF and total electron contentn T for all the days.
