This M layer was interpreted to be generated by the convergence effect of the ionization due to the west-east component of the solar tidal wind as suggested by K. Fujitaka. The altitude variation of the M layer during the course of a night is studied at three other locations with different latitudes. At Boulder (40°N, 105°W) and Wallops Island (38°N, 75°W) which have higher latitude than that of KSC (31°N, 131°E), the altitude of the observed M layers seems to be determined by the north-south component of the wind above about 150 km, by the west-east component of the wind below about 130 km in agreement with the drift thery. The altitude of the observed M layers at Arecibo (19°N, 67°W) located at lower latitude than that of KSC also coincides with the theoretical estimate when the direction of the north-south wind is assumed to be opposite to that prevailing in middle latitudes. Thus, M layer observations at these stations are consistent with the view that a round the latitude range of KSC the north-south wind reverses direction and the west-east component of the wind has the dominant effect on the formation of the M layer., 資料番号: SA0124768000}, pages = {675--684}, title = {S-310-3号機に搭載されたインピーダンスプローブによる電離中間層の観測結果}, volume = {13}, year = {1977} }
