Abstract
FOR some time it has been suspected that a correlation may exist between F disturbance phenomena and sporadic E ionization. Munro1 failed to find any association between E s and 5.8 Mc./s. fixed frequency disturbances but this type of disturbance is small in magnitude and recent examination of ionosonde records shows that quite often an anomaly in E s ionization is associated with giant travelling disturbances2.
