Scientific paper

The results of measurements on "scintillation" observed on 20 Mc/s radio signals from satellite Discoverer 36 are presented. The observations cover geomagnetic latitudes 44°-67° N and show a steady increase in the scintillation intensity with latitude. A sharp increase in scintillation intensity occurs at a latitude a few degrees to the equatorward side of the auroral zone. There is a close correspondence between the incidence of scintillation and spread-F and it is concluded that the same irregularities in the F-layer (above about 250 km) are responsible for the two phenomena. Data are presented on the diurnal variation in the lower latitude limit of scintillation and its variation with magnetic activity.
