Fige. 329 © Ionospheric Records at Okinawa Following Shot 5, Showing
Possible Effects
In Fige 3.29 is showm a sequence constituting an interesting
- phenomenon that may have been an effect of Shot 5, If it were. its
occurrence at about +7 hr 9 min indicates a velocity of 9.9 --/nxin.

apparently moving in horizontally (its maximum frequency is seen, in
the third ionogram of Fig. 3.29, to be about 5.5 me for the ordinary

,
It consisted of a sudden appearance of a region of higher im density,
wave and 6.0 me for the extraordinary); this was followed by tho
smoothing out of the cusp between the Fl ard Fz layers at 4.3 m
(ordinary), this cusp being replaced by what had bsen the F2-layer
°
ordinary critical frequency which dropped from 5.3 m to 4.5 m while
the new, higher density region became the rm ‘on of maximum ion density
of the F2 layer.
