On the Electron Density Distribution Above the F2 Peak
Abstract
The distribution of free electrons in an isothermal upper ionosphere consisting of a binary ion mixture (O+ and H+) is discussed. It is shown that for diffusive equilibrium, which should prevail at altitudes well above the F2 peak, measurements of the electron density distribution permit the determination of other structural parameters of the upper atmosphere, such as the temperature and the concentration of oxygen ions and protons.
