Abstract

This paper considers the effect of vertical ion transport on the ionization distribution of the night-time E-region. The nature and magnitude of the tidal velocities and of the recombination coefficient, which enter into the calculations, are obtained from various sources, both experimental and theoretical. It is shown that vertical ion transport is of importance in the night-time E-region and that this factor is capable of explaining certain heretofore anomalous experimental observations pertaining to the night-time E-layer.
