Excerpt from Vertical Cross Sections of the Ionosphere Across the Geomagnetic Equator The National Aeronautics and Space Administration has supported at the National Bureau of Standards, a substantial program concerned with the determination of height profiles of electron density using ionospheric vertical soundings, with a special View toward the pro vision of ionospheric data essential to various scientific and practical aspects of space programs. As a pilot study, the nbs has undertaken an intensive analysis of ionograms from the chain of stations located along the 750w meridian from Washington, D. C. To Concepcion.

Contours of ionization along a meridian crossing the geomagnetic equator are shown for each hour of a quiet period in March 1958. The equatorial ionospheric anomalies are thereby illustrated and discussed phenomenologically. The probably physical processes are described.
