Abstract

The way in which the sporadic E layer is influenced by heating of the ionospheric electron gas by high-power radio emission is investigated within the framework of the wind-shift theory with allowance for the redistribution of metal ions. The change in electron concentration in the regular E region and the E s layer is estimated for various degrees of electron-gas heating by high-power radio emission. It is shown that owing to heating by the radio-wave field electron concentration falls in the E s layer, while layer thickness increases.
