Abstract
IT is well known that the maximum in the lunar tide variation of f0F2 occurs at about 10 lunar hours at moderate geomagnetic latitudes and at about 04 lunar hours near the geomagnetic equator1,2. Recent analyses of the lunar variations at Singapore, Ibadan and Bombay have indicated non-agreement in the phases of the variation at stations having the same geomagnetic latitudes.
