Values of electron density and temperature (Ne and Te) measured by the incoherent-scattering technique at the Millstone-Hill station in daytime in winter, spring, and summer are compared with results of Ne and Te calculations on the basis of a model of plasmaspheric-ionospheric interaction. It is shown that, under high solar activity, failure to include the reaction of O(+) with vibrationally excited N2* in the model significantly worsens the degree of agreement of measured and theoretical values of Ne and Te. Calculations of N2* populations indicate that the use of the non-Boltzmann distribution of N2* yields practically the same Ne and Te values as the Boltzmann distribution according to vibrational levels.
