Abstract
The Chatanika radar, located near Fairbanks, Alaska, has been used for incoherent-scatter studies of the ionosphere since 1971. In this paper we describe some of the results obtained from ionospheric measurements. Recent tropospheric and stratospheric measurements and experiments to determine possible atmospheric and ionospheric interaction are also described.
