Scientific paper

Attention is given to the surprising results obtained from the differential phase measurements made during the 'waterhole' experiment, described by Whalen et al. (in press). While evidence exists that the electron concentration in the immediate neighborhood of the explosion dropped as expected, the more dramatic outcome was the sudden cessation of particle precipitation. The radio measurements reveal that the electron concentration in the E-region below the 'hole' began to decay at the time of the explosion with a rate that is consistent with recombination. It continued to decay during the time, about 2.5 min, that it could be observed. It is concluded that the particle precipitation along magnetic field lines through the hole was cut off for at least that length of time.
