Ionospheric Scintillation at Legon

Abstract

240-242Ionospheric scintillation observations made at Legon, Ghana (Iat., 5.63° N; long., 0.19° E), during the year 1980 are reported for the geostationary satellite Marisat 1, transmitting at 257 MHz. Seasonal variation of scintillation index and depth of fade and the correlation between scintillation and geomagnetic activity are examined. The seasonal variation showed a pattern similar to the ones obtained previously at this station. The correlation coefficient between Kp sum (index) for magnetic activity and the scintillation activity is quite random
