Abstract

It is suggested that the F2-layer seasonal anomaly observed at middle latitudes at times of large solar activity can be explained by seasonal variations in atmospheric composition changes. The continuity equations for the ions have been solved together with the equations of motion for the ions, electrons and neutral particles for summer and winter conditions and it is concluded that the atmospheric composition changes required to explain the seasonal behaviour of ƒ 0F2 are in good agreement with results obtained using rockets and the incoherent scatter technique.
