Scientific paper

Ionosonde data are collected over a period of 6 years in the sector to study the monthly median virtual height of the F-region from sunspot maximum to minimum. In the local winter and spring the nocturnal maximum of the median height decreases toward the equator and reaches a peak in both hemispheres 1-2 years after sunspot maximum. A second diurnal maximum is also noted and related to the wave disturbance caused by the supersonic motion of the sunrise terminator. The propagation of traveling ionospheric disturbances induced by magnetic storms is theorized to be affected by the background height variations.
