The process of heat transport by electrons under the influence of a strong electromagnetic wave in a weakly ionized plasma is studied. It is shown that the electron temperature rapidly approaches a new equilibrium whose form depends only on the wave profile of the heat source. Using as an example the D layer of the earth`s ionosphere it is shown that an external field can give rise to considerable heating of the neutral particles. 11 refs., 3 figs.
