Maps of scintillation indexes over the region of the Earth viewed by a geostationary satellite at 100 W longitude were produced using the SRI global model for scintillation. These maps were calculated for several times of the day, for the solstitial and equinoxial variations, and for sunspot numbers corresponding to high, medium and low solar active periods. The contours represent a convolution of the elevation angle, position, and diurnal variations. These maps should be useful in determining the deployment of buoys and other surface stations for use with the GOES (Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite) data collection and relay system. The method is also applied to the radio beacon frequencies 40 and 360 MHz of ATS-F to be launched in 1974 for communication experiments to be conducted in India.
