About this book
The appearance of regular ionospheric variations is well known. Most of these depend on evident solar-geophysical influences like day and night, solar zenith angle, the seasons, geomagnetic control and solar activity. The variability is particularly great in the F-region. This volume contains papers presented at the COSPAR International Symposium held in Trieste and covers the problems encountered with off-median phenomena.
