Abstract
Electron temperatures and electron densities measured on four rocket flights have been used to deduce electron heating rates in the E and lower F regions. Above 150 km heating rates at midday are found to be in good agreement with calculated values. Anomalies are found in heating rates at sunrise which are attributed to a source, such as joule heating, which does not produce ionization.
