Scientific paper

By monitoring the amount of Faraday rotation a plane polarized satellite signal experiences in traversing the ionosphere, it is possible to measure the total number of electrons in a column of unit cross section through the earth's ionosphere. Report discusses: Ground-based total electron count observations and the Skylab launch; electron loss mechanisms in the F-region; diffusion of the Saturn V S-II plume in the ionosphere; ionosonde observations; and estimates of photochemical and aeronomic processes capable of depleting the expanding plume.
