- Abstract
A method for measuring the radio noise absorption by the ionosphere and a device-a riometer-developed on its basis are described. The idea behind the device is to record the cosmic radio radiation power at several close frequencies from the band in use. A commercially produced WiNRADiO G305e radio receiver is used in the riometer. The measurement technique allows one to tune out narrowband noise, improving thereby the quality of riometric observations. The riometer is located at the Lovozero observatory of the Polar Geophysical Institute (Kola Research Center, Russian Academy of Sciences). This device is distinguished by the simple design, high reliability, and ease in operation.
