Abstract

Using quarter-hourly ionogram data at Kodaikanal (geomag. lat: 0.6°N; dip: \n3•S0N) for the period 19.57-63 a study is made of the effect of \ngeomagnetic activity on the occurrence of range and frequency types of \nspread-F. It is found that the occurrence of both range and frequency \ntypes of spread-F shows a significant negative correlation with \ngeomagnetic activity but only during years of high sunspot activity.
