Studies on ionospheric electron content at the magnetic equator
- 1. Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre, Trivandrum (India)
Description
The Faraday rotation data of 40 MHz ATS 6 transmissions recorded at Trivandrum were analysed to study the characteristics of the Ionospheric electron content (IEC) at the magnetic equator. The geomagnetic field along the signal path being very small the data gave IEC only upto an altitude of about 1400 km. The receiver system calibration and the satellite orbit inclination were into account to minimise the errors in the IEC values obtained
