Abstract
If in the previous paper the frequency properties of quasiperiodic variations of Es-layer echoes considered, then their height variations reported here. The analysis of height variations in beatings range in the presence of the cusp of x-trace of Es-layer is performed. The beats begin at merge of x-trace cusp with flat part of o-trace of Es-layer. Initial beating frequency is shifted to the fH/2 from foE (or start frequency o-trace Es-layer). These facts indicate that the beatings are caused of the interference of o-and x-modes and we deal with a polarization interferometer with a height sensitivity of 200 m. To measure the variation of background concentration below the Es-layer an approximation of the distances between minima is carried out.
