Scientific paper

The properties of the spatial variability of the height and longitudinal distribution of the H((+)/O(+) ion concentration ratio above 400 with data acquired during August 1974, when this height region was sampled during late afternoon at southern winter and northern summer midlatitudes, are described. The observations at northern summer midlatitudes indicate a smaller relative depression of the ion ratio within the same general longitude sector. Significant deviations of the ion ratio and the H(+) concentration are inferred from charge exchange equilibrium to altitudes as low as 400 km in the longitude region of abnormal behavior. It is suggested that the wintertime H(+) fluxes might be substantial, with unusually large vertical flow velocities possible within a localized geographic region.
