Conclusion
These observations show clearly that even at night, the F2 layer can by no means be considered as a simple plane reflecting surface and that there are dynamic changes going on in it most of the time. Determination of the reflection coefficient of the layer and of the absorption of the atmosphere below it is rendered particularly difficult because of these changes.
