Observations of the Effective Height of the Kennelly-Heaviside Layer and Field Intensity during the Solar Eclipse of August 31, 1932

The result of observations of the effective height of the Kennelly-Heaviside Layer on frequencies of 1640, 3492.5, and 4550 kilocycles are described. On the higher frequencies two height maxima, one before and one after totality, are observed. These maxima occur at approximately 50 per cent totality. Field intensity observations on 6095, 940, and 16.1 kilocycles taken at Tufts College are also described, and a marked eclipse effect is found on the two higher frequencies. The nature of the field intensity variations observed is in good agreement with those anticipated as a result of observations during the eclipse of 1925.
