Abstract
A "ram-sensor" ion motion detector was flown on four sounding rockets from Fort Churchill. For two flights, during which a magnetic disturbance was observed on the ground, large horizontal ion motions were observed along with some turbulence. The remaining two flights were at times of little ground magnetic activity and the ion motions tended to be more aligned with the magnetic field.
