Scientific paper

The average solar activity, seasonal, and time-of-day behavior of the ionospheric temperature and density over the Japanese middle and upper atmosphere radar (34.85 deg N, 136.10 deg E) were determined using data from 29 experiments covering 55 whole or partial days during the period between August 11, 1986 and April 26, 1990. It was found that the seasonal and solar activity behavior of the ionospheric density and the anticorrelation of the electron temperature with this density shows many aspects in common with those at other geographic locations. However, a few differences were evident. In particular, at low solar activity, the height of the F layer varied from 240 km during the day to 320 km at night regardless of season. At high solar activity, the maximum density of the F layer varied little with season. These findings indicate little seasonal change in the neutral atmospheric composition of F region at this location.
