Short‐term characteristics of sporadic E propagation were observed on a forward‐scatter radio link equipped with an angle‐of‐arrival measuring device. The evolution with time of the field intensity n , the fading rate N , and the width ∆α of the angular spectrum was studied in detail for several typical E s events. It reveals the coexistence of two distinct structural types of layers characterized as follows:
