Contribution to the theory of ionospheric-plasma diffusion in the F region
Abstract
The transport processes and distribution of the electron-ion gas in the ionosphere are analyzed with particular reference to the F2 layer. The discussion covers modern ideas on the structure and processes of the ionosphere, analytical methods of studying them at equatorial and mid-latitudes, and methods of solving the diffusion equation for the ionospheric plasma. A review of recent data is taken as a basis to develop a model of the F region.
