Typical behaviour of the high latitude lower ionosphere

A model for the high latitude D-region is presented, which describes electron densities as a function of local riometer absorption. The available data from 89 rocket borne wave propagation experiments are treated separately for day and night conditions. The synthetic profiles can be constructed from...

Description
Summary:A model for the high latitude D-region is presented, which describes electron densities as a function of local riometer absorption. The available data from 89 rocket borne wave propagation experiments are treated separately for day and night conditions. The synthetic profiles can be constructed from two sets of coefficients given as functions of atmospheric number density and local riometer absorption.
