Errata, January 2002

  1. The ordinates in figures 2 and 8 should read:       A (dB) cos i0
  2. The ordinate in figure 3 should read:       ||R|| (dB) cos i0
  3. The paragraph following equation (5) on page 13 should read:
          Let h2 be the height where Z = 1. The decrease of Z with height combined with (2) requires that h2 > h1. We thus have three regions of the ionosphere to consider: (I) below h1, (II) between h1 and h2, and (III) above h2.
  4. The paragraph following equation (6) on page 13 should read:
          There are three cases to consider for the reflection of LF and VLF waves from the D region; these correspond to whether reflection occurs in regions I, II, or III defined above.
  5. The following should be added to the right-hand-side of equation (27) on page 29:
    -20/(Log 10) (2 r0 c)/(a+b) N(h1)/fH
  6. Replace "4 r02 c2 N2" by "4 r02 c4 N2" in the radical in the denominator of the integral in Table 4.
  7. Insert a minus sign in a factor in that same formula in Table 4 so that the factor reads factor.jpg .
  8. Add the accompanying tables 6, 7, and 8 to the report.
