Four distinct types of fluctuations can be distinguished in the acceleration of satellites. Together with figures and tables, the author describes these various fluctuations: (a) Fluctuations that follow the rhythm of the solar flux at 2800 mc (10.7- cm wavelength). These fluctuations increase in amplitude with height and become smaller or disappear when the perigee is in darkness. (b) A slow fluctuation connected with the position of the perigee with respect to the subsolar point ("diurnal effect"). This effect is small at the 200-km level, but becomes very large at heights larger than 350 km. This effect is intimately connected with the first. (c) Transient fluctuations accompanying magnetic storms. These perturbations are seemingly of corpuscular origin and should reflect a heating of the atmosphere through some interaction with corpuscular radiation. (d) Erratic fluctuations of unexplained origin, such as the perturbation of August and September 1958. It is felt that a comparison with conditions in the radiation belts may provide a clue to this effect.
