The Polar F-Region — Theory

  • Conference paper
Exploration of the Polar Upper Atmosphere

Part of the book series: NATO Advanced Study Institutes Series ((ASIC,volume 64))

Abstract

The polar ionosphere is basically different from the mid-latitude ionosphere, because it is tied up with the magneto- sphere. Particle fluxes and electric fields originating in the magnetosphere penetrate into the ionosphere and affect production, loss and transport of ionization there. Some of the polar F-region phenomena, as troughs, polar cap ionization etc. are discussed in the light of these processes.
