Experiments performed with the Al method at frequencies of 2.0 and 2.8 MHz on the ship Akademik Kurchatov during March-June 1976 in the Indian Ocean (28 deg N to 18 deg S, 40-79 deg E) revealed an area (Persian Gulf, 28-24 deg N) with a highly unusual diurnal variation of the ionospheric absorption of radio waves. This peculiarity consisted in extremely small prenoon values of absorption; the difference between the prenoon values and the higher postnoon absorption values at the two frequencies used was considerably higher than the measurement error (+ or - 3 dB). It is suggested that this peculiarity was connected with anomalously high rates of recombination processes in the morning hours in the lower ionosphere in this region.
