Scientific paper

Two aspects of the local time variation of total electron content in the equatorial region, the longitudinal dependence of the post-sunset increase and the nighttime enhancement at lower latitudes following the rapid sunset decay, are investigated. It is shown that the ionospheric electron content in the equatorial region obtained by numerical solution of the plasma continuity equation follows the general trend of F-region ionization observed from experiments. The prereversal enhancement of the E x B drift near the magnetic equator around sunset is found to be the primary mechanism controlling the behavior of the F-region of the equatorial ionosphere in the postsunset and evening hours.
