Abstract

Numerical modeling of ionospheric heating by powerful HF radio wave’s influence on the nighttime airglow and comparison of the results with experimental data obtained at the SURA heating facility are presented. We model the effect of suppression of the background airglow during the heating as well as its recovery and “afterglow” after the heating switching off. Results obtained allow to estimate the increase of electron temperature and rates of some photo-chemical reactions in the heated ionosphere.
