For their timely value, some of the tables presented are provisional data received by telephone or telegraph in which there may be small or infrequent errors* When filial values are available such errors will be oorracted in later issues of this report*

The final values presented, both in tabular end graphical form, although correct for the quantities stated, as reported to this laboratory, may sometimes lead to an erroneous conception of typical values for the quantity under consideration* Standard sealing praotioe, following recom¬ mendations of idie International Radio Propagation Conference held in Wash¬ ington, D.C*, 17 April to 5 May, 1944, is not yet universal, deviation from standard praotioe being most common in the cases of records where spread eohoes are present* Even when standard scaling pr&ctioe is used, intrinsically misleading results may arise from the monthly average being determined from only a few observations during the month. Two frequent types of such error, both particularly typioal of stations in far northern or far southern latitudes arei

(a) Erroneously high values of monthly average critical frequencies caused by the frequent absence of record for oases where the critical frequency is below the lesser frequency limit of the record<&r® A median, rather than a mean, value of the critical frequency is more significant in such cases, the median being that for all times at which observations were made, the cases of such inability to read the records being counted as less than the lower frequency limit of the apparatus*

(b) Erroneously high values of monthly average F2-layer critical fre® queue ies caused by the frequent occurrence of cases where the FI-layer oritioal frequency exceeds that of the F2-layere This is ahmraotoriitie of sunner months during sun@pct*»oycle minijsua, particularly in northers, latitudes* In this ease, also, aedi&a values are more significant than

Page 8: Ionospheric Data - nvlpubs.nist.gov · These data, observed at Washington, D*C*, follow the soaling prac¬ tices recommended by the International Radio Propagation Conference held

6

mean values, the median being that for all cases where observations are made, those cases where missing values result because of higher f°Fl being counted as less than the f°Fl# When, as is often the case, no great discrepancy is likely to exist between f°Fl and f°F2, a typical value of f°F2 may be obtained by taking the monthly average of observed f°F2 together with observed f°Fl for the cases where no f°F2 could be measured*

The discrepancy between predicted and observed values of monthly average critical frequencies, particularly for far northern stations, is frequently because of the above reasons, the predictions being in¬ tended to represent typical values for the location under consideration*

It may be noted by inspection of the figures presenting comparison of data received for the months of August, September, October, and November with IRPL predictions made four months in advance, that, generally, the predictions have been in error by being too low, especially in temperate latitudes*

These predictions are based on average trends of solar activity as measured by sunspot number* In the past few months this activity has been somewhat abnormally high* Occurrence of both sunspots and oaleium flooculi during the past few months has been slightly more frequent at high than at low solar latitudes, indicating that perhaps the sunspot minimum has just been passed®

Because of great fluctuations in solar activity, however, an observa¬ tion period of but a few months is so short as to render a final conclu¬ sion as to this premature as yet*

IONOSPHERIC DATA FOR EVERY DAY AND HOUR

These data, observed at Washington, D*C*, follow the soaling prac¬ tices recommended by the International Radio Propagation Conference held in Washington, D*C*, 17 April to 6 May 1944* (Cf* IRPL-C61, pp*36-39)*

Because of the high variability of observed fEs, mean values are of little practical significance and are not given here®

Mean values of other quantities are ordinarily given for all days of the month as well as for quiet days only. No periods of pronounced stormi¬ ness having occurred during November, only one mean is given here* The criteria for selecting periods of ionospheric storminess, whose data are deleted in obtaining the mean values for quiet days only, are presented in XRPL-R5, BCriteria for Ionospheric Storminess", available to authorised persons upon request to the Chief of IRPL, National Bureau of Standards, Washington 26, D*C*

In determining the median values included in Tables 26 through 36, the following procedure has been adopted*

For all characteristics s Where the value is missing because of A, B, or C (see Terminology* above)* that hour is omitted from the median

count*

In addition*

For critical frequenciesg For all layers* where a value i® missing because of 1

(see Terminology* above)* it is counted as less than the lower limit of the recorder*

For virtual heights* Values missing for any reason are omitted from the median

count*

For muf factors * Values missing for any reason are omitted from the median

IONOSPHERE DISTURBANCES

Table 39 presents ionospheric character figures observed at Washington* D*C*, during November 1944* as determined by the criteria presented in IRPL-R5, cited above* together with American magnetic K-flgure® which are usually covariant with them* No major disturbances were noted at Washingtm^ D*C** during November*

NOTE ON LONGITUDE EFFECT

Ionospheric data recently received from Ifedr-r.s, India (!8#0°N, 8Q*2CB) wad Chrissmas X* {2*Cjts, Ilff »£>%}* both located near1 the geomagnetic equator* at geomagnetic latitude® 3°N and 2°N* respectively* affords the possibility of comparison with data observed at Euane&yo* Peru (12*0°S, 76*5<W), at geomagnetic le /itede 0*b°S* The three station® are thus all near the geomgnetio ©qeator* but with quits different geographic latitudes* This comparison is c.T particular interest in that the variation of ionospheric characteristic?* with geomagnetic latitude formed the basis of division of tha world into ifct three icnes (B* I* and W) recoirenended by the Interna® tlon&l Radio Propagation Conference held in Washington* D@S** 17 April to S May 1944, for coverage by prediction charts* This division was adopted 1 September 1944, in the first of the IRPI/-D series reports* and f°F2 and

F2-4000 muf charts have since been issued separately for the three tones* Madras* India, is located in the **1* sens, Christmas I* in the *i* sons, and Buaaeayo, F@rvs# is the sons*

In order to augment the usefulness of actual data in the construction of FS-laye^ prediction charts, it has been heretofore assumed, in the ab¬ sence of observed data from certain locations, that the diurnal variations of ionospheric characteristics are similar at places having equAl geo- magnati? latitudes and equal solar zenith angles or equivalent seasons* For example, after suitable corrections for the effeot of changing solar activity and for ’‘hemisphere effect” had been applied, data for a southern hemisphere W»zone station, for a time six months from that for which pre¬ diction is made, have been used at an equal north latitude in the E-zone*

Inspection of Figs. 20, 21, and 22 shows that a fair degree of similar¬ ity exists for the daytime values of f°F2 at Madras and Huanoayo for times of approximately equal solar zenith angle at equivalent seasons* The be¬ ginning and end points on the Madras curves are considered less reliable than other points, and probably represent fewer observations* It may be "Tpted, by comparing Huancayo observations for January and Maroh, that night values of f°F2 may be conspicuously different for equal solar angles even at the same location.

Fig. 23 presents a mass plot of provisional data received telegraphically from Christmas I. for the first fifteen days of December, 1944, in compari¬ son with August and April, 1944, and Deoember, 1943, values of f°F2 for Huancayo, Peru. It may be noted that the Christmas I. data for December b*?ar greatest similarity to data from Huancayo, Peru, for the same month (December), and not to the data from Huancayo for months of approximately equal solar zenith angle (April and August), although the curves for these bear some resemblance to each other.

Mich further investigation is necessary before any but preliminary speculations oonoerning the oause of this effeot oan be made. It is interesting, hwrever, to oonsider the possibility of its course in the seasonal variation of solar partiole radiation arriving on earth* It was previously suggested in "Radio Propagation Conditions", issued August, 1944, p*4, that partiole radiation may oause ionization at various levels in the atmosphere. The greater amount of particle radiation received during equinoctial seasons than during solstioe seasons, as indicated by greater prevalence of ionospheric storminess during the equinox months, may perhaps explain qualitatively the fact that the night values of f°J8 at Huancayo during equinoctial periods are greater than those during the solstioe seasons* Ionization at F-layer level®, rather than at the D- or B-layer levels characterizing storminess at higher latitudes might be ex¬ pected from consideration of space variations in the earth's magnetic field* The comparative lack of difference between daytime values of foF2 for equal solar zenith angles and equal geomagnetic latitudes may be explained by the particle ionization's appearing as increased fEs, rather than as ioniza¬ tion in the F layer (Cf* above reference)* High midday values of fEs re¬ ported from Huancayo also lend some support to this suggestion.
