Observations of scintillation on signals radiated on a frequency of 20.005 Mc/s from a series of satellites are used to derive diurnal variations in the appearance of scintillation. Marked seasonal changes in daytime scintillation are apparent, but it is shown that summarizing for the four conventional seasons may mask some of the more significant changes.
