Abstract
RADIO observations on the solar eclipse of June 19, 1936, were made by the Oxford University Arctic Expedition 1935–36 in North-East Land at 80° 23 N., 19° 31 E. in accordance with the programme arranged by a sub-commission of the U.R.S.I. One complete record showing the relationship between the equivalent height of reflection and the frequency of the exploring wave was obtained in steps of 0.2 me./sec. The records, each of which took ten minutes to secure, were centred on each hour and half-hour from 03.30 to 07.30 G.M.T. on June 18, 19 and 20, 1936 (Fig. 1). Short-period variations would not therefore be observed.
