D-region electron density profiles of high accuracy (±10 per cent), and high resolution (0·1 km) are presented for each of 5 Nike Apache rockets launched at sunrise from Wallops Island, Virginia at solar zenith angles of 108, 96, 94, 94, and 85°. Orderly increases of electron density between 70 and 80 km are observed as the solar zenith angle decreases from 108 to 94 degrees. At a zenith angle of 94°, the observed electron density between 87 and 90 km is larger by a factor of 6 on a morning of high VLF absorption which commenced at 98° compared with mornings of normal VLF absorption which commenced at 94°. At a zenich angle of 85°, a "C-layer" or local maximum electron density of about 90 cm-3 at 68 km, and a decreased electron density at 75 km are observed.
