Radio communications in the polar region are subject to periodic outages due to rapid density fluctuations in the Arctic ionosphere. In order to evaluate the effect of solar activity on these outages, the messages from an extensive network of unmanned automatic meteorological stations in Greenland were recorded. In a joint project between the Danish Meteorological Institute and the U.S. Air Force Wright Laboratory, the recorded data were reduced and analyzed to derive bit-error-rate and missed message statistics. These data are summarized in hourly, daily, monthly, and yearly plots for 20 mid-latitude, auroral, and polar station around Greenland. This report describes the results of the-experiment. The Appendices (WL-TR-92-1051) contains 100 station years of data.
