The High-Latitude Ionosphere and Its Effects on Radio Propagation

This book presents a modern treatment of the physics and phenomena of the high latitude upper atmosphere and the morphology of radio propagation in the auroral and polar regions. Chapters cover the basics of radio propagation and the use of radio techniques in ionospheric studies. Many investigations of high latitude radio propagation have previously only been published in Conference Proceedings and organizational reports. This book also includes many examples of the behavior of quiet and disturbed high latitude HF propagation.
