Abstract

Ionospheric observations with five minute intervals between ionograms were made during a campaign from 19th to 23rd June 1996 at the Rome station (41.8N, 12.5E). The data obtained from ionospheric vertical sounding have been analysed together with the Total Electron Content (TEC) data obtained by the GPS receiver measurements. Both the apparatus were installed in the same station. Short periodicity phenomena occurring in the considered period were observed and interpreted as resulting from the propagation of AGWs in the thermosphere. TEC and electron density were then analysed during AGWs activity.
