Solar Noise and Ionospheric Fading

Abstract

A STUDY of the correlation between the occurrence of bursts of solar noise and anomalies in ionospheric wave propagation was initiated at the Radio Research Station, Slough, by Mr. R. E. Burgess in 1948 and continued during that year by Messrs. C. S. Fowler and R. W. Mason. Some interesting effects on radio transmissions in the low-frequency band at times of sudden ionospheric disturbances have been observed.
