The heights of the irregularities in ionospheric refractive index responsible for radio-satellite scintillation have been found from long-term spaced-receiver experiments at mid-latitude and sub-auroral locations using the 40 MHz transmissions of satellite BE-B. The important results relate to the diurnal, seasonal, and latitude variations of the irregularity heights. Night-time scintillation is usually produced in the F-region at all times of the year, and in particular in the top-side of the F-region in Summer. Day-time scintillation is rare at midlatitudes; at sub-auroral latitudes it may be produced at any height. The night-time height distributions show a constancy of height with latitude in Summer and Winter, although there is a slight increase poleward in average Autumn-Spring night-time heights. Only records displaying weak to moderate scintillation at 40 MHz were used in the analysis, and therefore the heights reported are those of irregularities producing such scintillation.
