Abstract
A new method of analysing the results of a survey of interplanetary scintillations is described and is applied to data recently recorded at 151·5 MHz. The magnitude and the diurnal variation of the background scintillating flux density is measured and the latter is used to set an upper limit on the mean angular diameter of the scintillating sources contributing most significantly to the background.Keywords
