Abstract

THE method reported by Y. V. Somayajulu1 for the investigation of horizontal movements of disturbances in the F-layer of the ionosphere utilizes transmissions from a distant short-wave transmitter. We have now evolved a method for a similar study of such travelling disturbances by recording simultaneously the signal-strength of continuous-wave transmissions from two distant short-wave transmitters radiating on frequencies which are very close to each other.
