  • Abstract
    This paper describes the results of radio measurements of the virtual heights of the Kennelly-Heaviside layer during the Leonid meteor shower of November, 1931. While the results are not conclusive, due to the fact that a moderate magnetic disturbance occurred during this same period, there is some reason to believe that the presence of meteors in unusual numbers causes increased ionization of an intermittent nature in the region of the lower layer.
