Abstract

A modified Chapman function with a variable scale height gradient has been found to be in good agreement with the electron density distribution obtained experimentally within the height range from about 100 km below the F2 peak to an altitude of about 700 km. The scale height distribution derived from this model is also consistent with the neutral gas scale height of the 1961 Cospar international reference atmosphere.
