Referee's report by John Ashworth, on a paper 'Electric currents in the ionosphere. III. Ionization drift due to winds and electric fields' by David Forbes Martyn

Reference number: RR/79/87

Date: 19 May 1953

Description

Sectional committee: Physics

Paper reference code: A78

Recommended for publication in the Philosophical Transactions. Ashworth remarks the paper is divided into two parts, and suggests Sections II and IV are 'closely related' to paper I and II, and should therefore be added to those papers to make one paper and published in the Philosophical Transactions, with additional corrections on a separate page. He suggests Section III and V is not yet ready for publication.

[Published in Philosophical Transactions A, 1953].
