THE DISTRIBUTION OF ELECTRONS IN THE LOWER AND MIDDLE IONOSPHERE

Conference ·
OSTI ID:4877949
A review of current knowledge of the distribution of electrons in the D, E, andd lower F regions of the ionosphere is presented. Noteworthy is the increase in the amount of data available on the electron density profile in the D region from ground-based andd rocket experiments. Also, the shape of the height profile of electrons in the E and lower F region was significantly refined through the use of improved vertical sounders and by and increasing number of in situ observations. Information was obtained by means of rocket experimentation on the nature of the ionization structures responsible for certain types of sporadic E. (auth)
