  • Abstract
    A method is shown for calculating the ionospheric electron content as a function of longitude and latitude. The results of the analysis of the calculations made of Faraday fading from 251 transits of satellites Explorer 22 and Explorer 27 provide a gradient in the ionospheric electron content over Texas.
