Scientific paper

A superposed-epoch method is used to investigate the occurrence of spread-F at Huancayo relative to days of high sunspot activity and relative to days of high geomagnetic activity. A good correlation is found between days of high A-p index and high spread-F occurrence for a pre-sunrise interval of a few hours. When 3-hourly K-p indices are used they show a peak value approximately 6 hr prior to an above-average occurrence of spread-F. It is suggested that this pre-sunrise spread-F is associated with ionospheric height rises which are produced by traveling disturbances, initiated in polar regions at times of high geomagnetic activity.
