Scientific paper

The idealized 'servo' model of the ionospheric F2-layer of Rishbeth et al. (1978) is used to simulate the observed behavior of the daytime Fe-peak at Arecibo at sunspot minimum. The meridional pressure-gradient force associated with the meridional neutral-air wind is determined empirically. The local time variation during the day is found to be consistent with the semidiurnal variation given by the MSIS atmospheric model of Hedin et al. (1977). The values of the F2-layer loss and diffusion coefficients needed to match the data are broadly consistent with the MSIS model.
