Amplitude scintillations of the 136-MHz beacon signal of the polar orbiting satellite Nimbus-4 have been recorded at a station in Greenland for the local time interval 2200-0200 of the auroral oval. A relative variation versus zenith and azimuth is noted in the 136-MHz scintillation data; this finding lends support to the hypothesis that the power-law ionospheric spectrum is realistic in the auroral oval as well. Ionospheric irregularities elongated along the field lines with an elongation factor of 2.5 or greater may be deduced from the scintillation data.
