Scientific paper

The electron (0+) density variations over the northern and southern winter high latitude ionosphere are comprehensively analyzed using the technique of Brinton et al. (1978). Two-hour Magnetic Local Time (MLT) arithmetic means of electron densities are studied in terms of invariant magnetic latitude and in terms of magnetic activity as classified by the three-hour planetary magnetic activity index. It is found that the southern hemisphere densities are significantly lower than those in the northern hemisphere. Further, the maximum electron densities observed in the northern hemisphere are located in a MLT range symmetrical about the 14-02 MLT meridian, whereas in the southern hemisphere the maxima are observed about the noon midnight magnetic meridian. A deep localized ionization hole on the nightside of the polar cap is not observed although the polar cavity is apparent.
