Description
Summary:This report contains a summary of results obtained from the Rome Air Development Center's modified commercial meteor scatter communications link, located in Greenland. The data presented here were recorded during the months of October, November, and December 1986. A known message is repeatedly transmitted between Thule and Sondrestrom AB from which pertinent meteor scatter statistics, such as message waiting times and throughput, are calculated. Such statistics are presented in this paper. Keywords include: Meteor scatter propagation, Meteor scatter high-latitude effects, and Meteor scatter frequency dependence.
