Radiophysics and Quantum Electronics Aims and scope

Abstract

Using the measuring facilities located in different latitudinal regions: in Vasil'sursk near Nizhny Novgorod (56.1° N and 46.1° E) and in Tumanny (Murmansk region, 69.0° N and 35.7° E), we study the ionospheric D layer by the partial-reflection technique. Quantitative estimates are obtained for the electron density in the polar and mid-latitude D layer, distinctions of these values are revealed, and the possible reasons for latitudinal variations in the electron density at the D-layer altitudes are discussed.
