Study of the behavior and stability of phase fronts on short time scales / by B.J. Rook.: Co24-3/7-1312-1978E-PDF

"Measurements have been made over an 1181-metre antenna-aperture of the phase of radio waves received after propagation via the ionosphere. Data were obtained for two paths: the first a 453 km, mid-latitude link, the second a 1950 km, sub-auroral link. In both cases, the signals from the individual elements in the array were sampled at intervals of about 20 milliseconds. The decorrelation of phase-front shape with increasing time displacement was then calculated. For the mid-latitude path data, it was found that the mean time for the wave front to decorrelate to 0.7 was about 5 seconds, while for the longer, higher-latitude path, the corresponding time was approximately 1.1 seconds"--Abstract, page 1.
