Abstract
B. F. J. Schonland and his associates present evidence supporting the view of Australian workers that the oscillatory structure of atmospherics arises from multiple reflections from the E-layer of the ionosphere. They find that the effective height of reflection is approximately constant (85 km.) except in the neighbourhood of the thunderstorm producing the atmospheric, where it decreases from 85 km. at 300 km. distance to 50 km. immediately above the storm.
