A model of the midlatitude nighttime E-region including metallic ions.
Abstract
The midlatitude nighttime E region was modeled with three ion species including a metallic ion species Mg(+). Time-dependent ionization profiles, including diffusion, were calculated for five wind profiles measured over Wallops Island, Virginia, on 22 February 1968. Model-generated profiles are compared with electron density measurements from the same night.
