Night variations of the topside and near bottomside ionosphere according to the revised Di Giovanni Radicella model
Abstract
Analytical expressions for the electron concentration night variations in the topside and near-maximum part of the bottomside ionospheric F-region are proposed in order to illustrate the convenience of presenting the N(h)-profile through Epstein functions which enable an analytical study of a great number of basic ionospheric problems. Analytical expressions are proposed for the nocturnal variations of the electron concentration in the topside and near-maximum part of the bottomside ionospheric F-region.
