Effect of Electron Precipitations on the Effective Recombination Coefficient

The results of an analysis of the possible effect of auroral electron fluxes on the effective recombination coefficient α eff in the ionosphere are presented. It is shown that the α eff value in the E -region of the ionosphere is determined mainly by the physical-chemical properties of the medium. I...

Description
Summary:The results of an analysis of the possible effect of auroral electron fluxes on the effective recombination coefficient α eff in the ionosphere are presented. It is shown that the α eff value in the E -region of the ionosphere is determined mainly by the physical-chemical properties of the medium. In the F 1-layer of the ionosphere, the effective recombination coefficient becomes dependent on both the value of the energy flux and the type of the energy spectrum of the auroral electron flux.
