Abstract
THE well-known theory of the ionosphere indicates the existence in polar regions of a third split in vertical incidence measurements of medium- and high-frequency radio wave reflexions from the ionosphere, its presence being due to the nearly vertical magnetic field of the earth. Its presence was first observed by Harang1, and since then by others.
