Scientific paper

The daytime F layer trough is studied by means of an extensive network of ground-based ionospheric sounders in the Northern Hemisphere under conditions of solar maximum near winter solstice. The trough is observed to be a major and persistent feature of the winter daytime F layer at high latitudes during the study. The trough in the afternoon sector is an integral entity extending continuously in altitude and longitude for thousands of km. The equatorward boundary of the afternoon trough is observed to remain nearly stationary for many hours. The daytime trough can extend continously from high latitude to midlatitude and hence is not well described in terms of a particular latitude regime. The daytime trough exists under all conditions from quiet to disturbed, contracting to high latitudes during quiet conditions and expanding to lower latitudes during active conditions.
