SOME PECULIARITIES IN THE BEHAVIOR OF THE F2 AND F1 LAYERS OF THE IONOSPHERE OVER IRKUTSK,

Abstract

Certain properties of the ionization state in the F2 layer are analyzed from the diurnal variation of its critical frequencies as well as the recombination parameter alpha prime for a quiescent state of the ionosphere. The time when the critical frequencies of the F2 layer deviate from a simple relation with the sun's zenith angle is compared with the time when the F1 layer appears. The excess ionization, which was discovered previously in the F2 layer during earlier morning hours, is discussed. (Author)
