Abstract
A technique for determining ionospheric electron distribution from obl ique ionograms is presented, based on the inversion method of Reilly a nd Kolesar (Radio Sci. 24, 575, 1989). It makes use of an equivalent o perating frequency and an additional term to account for magnetoionic effects associated with the Earth's magnetic field. The technique is d emonstrated by application to synthetic oblique ionograms, and to an e xperimentally obtained ionogram.
