Abstract

Using formulas developed in previous papers [Gliddon, 1959a and b; Gliddon and Kendall, 1960], we obtain quantitative results for the diurnal variation of electron density in the F2 region, taking account of diffusion and of an exponentially decreasing attachment-type law of recombination. The atmosphere is assumed to be isothermal, and for the case considered here (middle latitude) the effect of the geomagnetic field on diffusion is small enough to be ignored.
