STATION AT PRINCE "atmosphere's Ionospheric layers In connection with radio so that further improvements In commercial radio transmission may be developed. Such stations were originally established to measure accurately the height above the earth of the curious ionized layers of rarificd atmosphere which reflects radio waves and make long-distance radio communication possible. Data provided by the recorders enabled scientists to 'determine frequencies for transmission, by day and by night, which would give the best possible contact between any two points on the earth's surface. One possible application of such data, is believed to be hi relation to radio-controlled long-range rockets and other missels, such as the V2, which reach great heights above the earth. Original ionospheric studies in Britain led to the development of the whole related field of radar. In Canada, the Navy had two stations in operation by 1944, one at Chelsea, Que.. not far from Ottawa, and the other on thc outskirts of Chur chill, Man. Results Valuable In Many Ways Thc results proved of such value that the other scrvlcei, the National Research Council and the Transport Department, ininpfi to form the Canadian wave propagation committee.
