-From an analysis of oblique-incidence field strength recordings it is shown that a plausible interpretation of solar flare effects (s.w.f.) on short radio waves is possible, which leads to the following conclusions: 1. (1) During solar flares a layer is produced at a level between 70 and 75 km which is not identical with the normal short wave absorbing region and obeys an effective attachment law with a coefficient of about 2 × 10-3 sec-1; 2. (2) the thickness of the layer is limited to a few kilometres; 3. (3) thetime-variation of the ionizing radiation during a flare is very similar to that of the corresponding burst of solar c.m.-wave emission; 4. (4) the ionizing energy flux necessary to produce the ionospheric effect is 10-5-10-3 ergs/cm2/sec, which agrees well with the X-ray flux measured by means of rockets; 5. (5) comparison with rocket results shows that probably the ionizing energy is not brought up by continuous X-ray spectrum of the flare, but by line emission in the vicinity of 2 Å.
