Scientific paper

Two different photochemical schemes are used to investigate the response of the E-F1 region ionosphere to different solar EUV flux models, and the results are compared with incoherent scatter radar electron density measurements taken at Millstone Hill. The latest EUV flux model (Tobiska, 1991), which incorporates more recent measurements, has generally more flux at short wavelengths compared to the Hinteregger et al. (1981) flux model based on AE-E satellite data. This results in better agreement with the measurements in the E-F1 region and above. The Tobiska flux model gives a smaller E region peak density, due to the influence of low Ly-beta flux in the November 10, 1988 rocket measurements of Woods and Rottman (1990). The photoionization and photoabsorption cross sections of Conway (1988) give results in somewhat better agreement with observations than the cross sections of Torr et al. (1979). For the zenith angles considered (daytime conditions), the Chapman function method for calculating photoabsorption yields results in satisfactory agreement with a more rigorous calculation method using a formula from Rees (1989).
