The purpose of this paper is to present some incoherent scatter radar observations of high latitude D ‐region ionization profiles during auroral disturbances and during the great magnetic storm of August 1972. Simultaneous 30‐MHz riometer and magnetometer data from the College, Alaska area and IMP‐5 and ‐6 satellite data are utilized to interpret the ionization profiles.
