Abstract

The correlation between night time values of spread-F indices, magnetic K-indices and h'maxF values for Kodaikanal are examined for a half solar cycle. Cross correlograms for spread-F indices and magnetic K-indices show that the variations of occurrence of spread-F echoes lag behind the variations of K-index by a period varying from zero in the sunspot maximum period to 5 days in the sunspot minimum period. A similar effect is observed between h'maxF variations and K-index variations but with lesser delay. A strong positive correlation is observed between spread-F indices and h'maxF values without any time lag throughout the half solar cycle.
