The article presents an evaluation of the effectiveness of anomalous absorption of the energy of intense SHF waves in the ionosphere associated with the excitation of plasma oscillations as a result of dissociational processes. It is established that, with sufficiently intense energy fluxes, the power of the anomalous dissipation can exceed the Joule heat loss.
