During magnetically quiet or slightly disturbed nights, closely correlated oscillations of the geomagnetic field and the F-layer were observed by means of magnetometers and a vertical-incidence continuous-wave Doppler sounder at 3.57 MHz. The magnetic oscillations were mostly Pi2 pulsations with periods from 0.5 to 2 min and an amplitude of 10 to the -9th power T, corresponding to a Doppler shift of the order of 0.3 Hz. The observations cannot be explained by a dynamo-motor hypothesis, assuming that the magnetic and ionospheric oscillations are caused by alternating E-layer currents, but they agree well with the theory of downgoing hydromagnetic waves. In particular, this theory explains the observed effects due to sporadic-E layer ionization and ion-neutral collisions. The results are found to differ substantially from those of other authors.
