Scientific paper

Rocketborne experiments were conducted from two Indian Rocket Ranges, namely Thumba and Sriharikota (SHAR) situated at dip = 0 and dip = 12 deg respectively. Electron density, ion density and electric field were measured in day and night. On some occasions near simultaneous measurements of neutral winds were also carried out in altitude region 90-120 km. During night time, the thin layers of ionization with electron density 3 to 10 times of ambient density were observed over SHAR as well as Thumba. These layers have thickness of 1 km to 5 km and have separation of 5 km to 10 km. Over SHAR the layers were much denser compared to Thumba. Occasionally such layers were seen in day time also. We suggest that gravity waves and tidal wind waves are main cause of these layers.
