An analysis has been made of spread-F data, obtained from I.G.Y. [latin small letter f with hook]-plots for several ionosonde stations grouped about longitude 75°W to establish whether there is any connexion between the incidence of the frequency-spreading component of spread-F and the vertical movement of the F2-layer. It is found that at equatorial latitudes downward movement of the F2-layer is associated with the production of frequency-spreading. Upward movement inhibits the production of frequency-spreading at Huancayo and Talara. At latitudes above 60° geomagnetic, movement upwards or downwards results in increased frequency-spreading activity. Minimum, but not zero percentage occurrence is associated with a stationary layer at these latitudes. These low- and high-latitude associations between the incidence of frequency-spreading and the vertical movement of the F2-layer are found to be independent of magnetic activity, time of day, and season of the year. Discussion of these results is postponed to a later paper in the series.
