Abstract

Distribution, over the lunar age, of the frequency of occurrence of the afternoon counter-electrojet events at Trivandrum during the period 1959-1978 is examined in each of the calendar months. A strong lunar modulation on the occurrence frequency is seen in January; this may be related to the global enhancement of the lunar tide during January. The modulation is also prominent in April, although 62% of the events in that month occur irrespective of the lunar age. The occurrence frequency at Trivandrum appears to be least influenced by the Moon in the northern summer months.
