Scientific paper

Digital measurements of group height have been made on several frequencies to investigate the distortion of the E-region by the Sq current system. The sign of the distortion in the group height was found to change with frequency although no change of sign occurred when the data was reduced to true height data. It is shown that the results are consistent with those predicted by the redistribution theory for an east-west current. It is noted that although over Melbourne the Sq current is east-west, the current associated with the lunar semi-diurnal tide is west-east (Rodgers and Butcher, 1976), a fact that may explain the difference in the group height distortion with frequency caused by the two currents.
