| Abstract: | Faraday rotation angle records of VHP (137.35 MHz) signals from ATS-3 received at São José dos Campos (Magnetic dip-23.7°) exhibit nighttime fluctuations during equinoctial and summer months. These fluctuations have periodicities ranging from several seconds to about an hour. We investigate the relationship between these fluctuations and the F-layer irregularities. |
