Abstract
An electronic digital computer has been used to calculate ray paths in a parabolic ionospheric layer when the waves are incident in the plane of the magnetic meridian. This is a special application of a very general method. The results of the calculations are compared with what would be deduced from vertical soundings by the standard approximations of using Martyn's and Breit and Tuve's theorems as if there were no field.Keywords
