Abstract
The chapter presents a numerical study of the parameters of a heated region created in the D region of the ionosphere (~35–100 km) by radio waves from powerful high-frequency facilities (for example, HAARP). In order to understand the role of the most important processes in this study, a number of assumptions were made in the complex kinetic model formulated by the authors. The calculations show a fundamental difference in the behavior of the parameters for the daytime and nighttime ionosphere. The effect of the appearance of self-sustained oscillations within the region under night conditions has been found. Its physical substantiation is given.
