Modulation-phase and Faraday-rotation observations of ATS 6 radio-beacon transmissions have measured the total slant electron content to the satellite and the content up to an altitude of about 2000 km. Monthly median hourly values of the total slant content, the residual plasmaspheric content above 2000 km, and a factor related to the electron profile shape and the earth's magnetic field are reported for July 1974 to April 1975. The slab thickness was calculated by using ionograms and numerical mapping estimates of the geographic variations of foF2. The diurnal and seasonal variations of each measured and calculated parameter are discussed in terms of analytical modes for the electron-density profile shape. Representative models for day and night profiles in the summer, equinoctial, and winter seasons are presented, and their reliability is discussed.
