A triangulation of the goniometer-polarimeter systems of three stations in Japan is used to determine ionospheric exit points in a study of the propagation mechanisms of low-altitude whistlers. Detailed analyses were made for January 23, 1978, when the whistler activity was found to be most intense for the month's measurements. Temporal variation differences in the occurrence rate at the three stations, and the temporal variation of the single-valued dispersion, allowed a subdivision of the daytime whistlers into three characteristic time intervals and nighttime ones into two intervals. Behavior during these intervals was found to be adequately accounted for in terms of ducted propagation. The apparent lifetime of ducts was then determined to be on the order of 1-2 hours.
