Scientific paper

Results of a series of rocket measurements of D and lower-E region electron densities at South Uist (57.4 N, 7.4 W) are described. The measurements were primarily concerned with investigation of the winter anomaly in ionospheric absorption and it is found that the electron density becomes progressively more enhanced in the region 75-90 km as radiowave absorption increases. The region of maximum enhancement of electron density appears to occur in the 80-83 km height range. The measurements covered a wide range of solar zenith angle and furnish some information on the normal variation of electron density with solar zenith angle. Nighttime redistribution of ionization is also examined and evidence for the downward movement of ionization overnight is presented.
