Scientific paper

Electron loss coefficients are deduced from a wealth of observational material (360 cases) obtained at the station Washington. Beta values for some local night (2000-2200) and early morning (0100-0300) hours were determined for the 260-400 km altitude range. Regularities in the behavior of the beta coefficient were analyzed, and an evaluation is offered of the role and nature of plasma transport processes (diffusion, drift) competitive with recombination. Transport processes influence electron density distribution markedly at enhanced geomagnetic activity levels. Taking plasma drift due to horizontal wind in the neutral atmosphere into account lowers predicted beta values.
