Abstract
An "Australian" type ionosonde with modifications to record virtual height versus time in addition to regular ionograms was used for 23 nights during the "pulsating aurora campaign". Height variations associated with pulsating auroras were noted on 14 nights. For the periods of two rocket firings during the campaign it was possible to reproduce the height variations using modeling techniques. From the ionosonde data, information about the auroral energies and fluxes, as well as total electron content and conductivity variation, was obtained.
