Abstract
The technique of obtaining information on ionospheric irregularities by observing scintillation of signal from discrete sources of radio noise is described. Work on scintillation carried out at a few equatorial stations in Ghana and Nigeria is briefly reviewed. Observations of radio star scintillation made at Kodaikanal, situated close to the magnetic equator, are described and the main features of rate of scintillation are broadly outlined.Keywords
