The frequency band normally used is from about 1 MHz to about 20 MHz though some ionosondes operate down to about 0.20 MHz and up to 30 MHz. The ionograms actually show the time of travel of the pulse signal from the transmitter to the ionosphere and back to the receiver. A given station typically generates a sweep-frequency ionogram in about two minutes. Normally four ionograms are taken per hour, one at each quarter hour. As of May 1994, there are approximately 16,140 rolls of ionogram film at our Data Center. Most of these photographic records (ionograms) were recorded on 35mm film, but there are some 16mm ionogram film. One month of 35mm ionograms averages about 800 feet of film. These rolls of film are kept off site but can be retrieved when needed. If you would like to study specific ionograms, researchers are welcome at the National Geophysical Data Center, but are requested to give adequate advance notice of their visit so that appropriate arrangements may be made for their work space at the Data Center. Some ionograms were digitized and are stored in TIF G4 format. purpose: Research - Radio Frequency Reflection status: (MD_ProgressCode) underDevelopment pointOfContact: (CI_ResponsibleParty) individualName: Justin Mabie organisationName: DOC/NOAA/NESDIS/NGDC > National Geophysical Data Center, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce contactInfo: (CI_Contact) phone: (CI_Telephone) voice: (303) 497-6135 facsimile: (303) 497-6513 address: (CI_Address) deliveryPoint: NOAA/NESDIS/NGDC 325 Broadway city: Boulder administrativeArea: CO postalCode: 80305 country: USA electronicMailAddress: ionosonde@noaa.gov hoursOfService: 7:30 - 5:00 Mountain role: (CI_RoleCode) pointOfContact resourceMaintenance: (MD_MaintenanceInformation) maintenanceAndUpdateFrequency: (MD_MaintenanceFrequencyCode) continual descriptiveKeywords: (MD_Keywords) keyword: EARTH SCIENCE > SOLAR PHYSICS > Solar Energetic > Particles > Particle Density type: (MD_KeywordTypeCode) theme thesaurusName: (CI_Citation) title: NASA/GCMD Earth Science Keywords date: descriptiveKeywords: (MD_Keywords) keyword: Ionosonde keyword: Bottomside keyword: Ionograms keyword: Space Physics - Ionospheric Science type: (MD_KeywordTypeCode) theme thesaurusName: (CI_Citation) title: Uncontrolled Keywords date: descriptiveKeywords: (MD_Keywords) keyword: WDC/STP, BOULDER > World Data Center for Solar-Terrestrial Physics, Boulder keyword: DOC/NOAA/NESDIS/NGDC > National Geophysical Data Center, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce type: (MD_KeywordTypeCode) theme thesaurusName: (CI_Citation) title: NASA/GCMD Data Center Keywords date: descriptiveKeywords: (MD_Keywords) keyword: Global type: (MD_KeywordTypeCode) place thesaurusName: (CI_Citation) title: NASA/GCMD Location Keywords date: resourceConstraints: (MD_Constraints) useLimitation: While every effort has been made to ensure that these data are accurate and reliable within the limits of the current state of the art, NOAA cannot assume liability for any damages caused by any errors or omissions in the data, nor as a result of the failure of the data to function on a particular system.
