Abstract
The measured height profiles of the relaxation time and amplitudes of artificial periodic inhomogeneities (API) in the ionospheric D region are compared with the model. It is shown that the height dependences of the relaxation time of APIs and the amplitude of the scattered signal can be explained taking into account the hieght profile of the atmosphere density. Most probably, the upper boundary of APIs in the D region is due to the increase in the atomic oxygen density and can serve as an altitude indicator.
