    Samples of tropospheric and stratospheric air were collected on aircraft flights between October 4 and October 13, 1976. The region of the atmosphere surveyed was over the North American continent (approximately 18°N to 65°N latitude). Samples were obtained at heights ranging from about 3, 000ft. to 45, 000ft. Measurements of N2O, CF2Cl2, CFCl3, CH3CCl3, and CCl4 were made by GC/EC techniques, and of CH3Cl by GC/MS. The latitudinal and height profiles of these trace gases are reported in this paper. Calculations based on these measurements yield the following average tropospheric concentrations: [N2O]=(330±2) ppb v, [CF2Cl2]=(236±7) ppt v, [CFCl3]=(140±5) ppt v, [CH3CCl3]=(145±25) ppt v, and [CCl4]=(134±9) ppt v (where the ± values are the standard deviations). The N2O mixing ratio decreases only slightly in the lower stratosphere. CF2Cl2 and CFCl3 mixing ratios decrease by about 10% and 15% respectively, within 4km above the tropopause. CCl4 mixing ratio declines by about 50% within 4km above the tropopause. CH3CCl3 mixing ratios also show a sharp decline above the tropopause, similar to that of CCl4. CH3Cl on the other hand displays almost no change in mixing ratio between the free troposphere and the lower stratosphere.

    The role of the equatorial electrojet on the distribution of ionization at low latitudes has been discussed using mult-location Total Electron Content (TEC) data obtained through the radio beacon signals from the geostationary satellite ATS-6 and from ground-based ionosonde data. It has been found that the electrojet has a pronounced influence on TEC at latitudes extending from equator to as high as 25°N dip latitude. It is suggested that ionosphere-to-plasmasphere ionization flow plays an important role in understanding the behaviour of the equatorial TEC.

    The correlations between geomagnetic, climatic, and meteorological phenomena were investigated with the object of demonstrating the function of the geomagnetic pole and changes of its position in controlling the climate and weather. A tentative model has been proposed to enable one to understand the causes of the generation of glacial and interglacial periods, as well as the causes which effect changes of climate (BUCHA, 1976a).
    The analyses of various types of geomagnetic and atmospheric manifestations have disclosed certain associations. The coincidence in the occurrence of increased spectral densities with regard to geomagnetic activity and the variations of atmospheric pressure over the geomagnetic pole shows the relation between their periodicities. The results imply that the changes in the intensity of corpuscular radiation, indicated by geomagnetic activity, affect the temperature and pressure patterns over the geomagnetic pole and polar region significantly, so that a pronounced modification of the general circulation may take place, as shown schematically (BUCHA, 1976b).
    As a result of investigating the relations between the variations of geomagnetic activity and meteorological factors a mechanism of solar-terrestrial relationships and a model of the changes of atmospheric circulation in the Northern Hemisphere are proposed; this provides a probable explanation of the causes of the fluctuation of the climate, of dry and cold periods and of differing vegetation conditions in various years in dependence on the intensity of geomagnetic activity (BUCHA, 1976b, 1977a).
