Abstract :
The critical frequencies of the ionosphere are observed from ionograms to determine the gyro frequencies. The ionograms are obtained from the Parit Raja station using an ionosonde at latitude 1° 52´ N and longitude 103° 48´ E which is close to the geomagnetic equator at geographic latitude 5° N. Preliminary results show that the gyro frequencies obtained are between 0.2 MHz and 1.4 MHz.
