摘要: Measurements of the amplitude and phase reflected radiowaves at closely spaced antennas are used to estimate motion E-region irregularities. Experimental methods such as drift experiment (Mitra, 1949) its developments used: also techniques phase-height analysis (Findlay, 1951) angles arrival determinations. Diversity effects (Bramley, considered. Three distinctive examples, indicating different types reflection structure, discussed in detail. For each case there is good agreement between determinations velocity associated parameters. The consistency this comparison suggests that certain assumptions inherent frequently justified E-region.
