Abstract
SYSTEMATIC study of horizontal movements in the ionosphere has been made during the past few years by using the spaced-transmitter technique developed by Munro1, which is applicable only for the F2 region, and the spaced-receiver method first employed by Mitra3. However, both these methods require elaborate and expensive ionospheric pulse-sounding equipment. We present here a simple method of studying winds in the ionosphere using continuous-wave transmissions and a simple receiver with a recording system.
