This paper gives the results of a study on the effects of solar flare radiation on the electron density of the F2-layer of the ionosphere at its level of maximum in and near the equatorial anomalous zone. It is shown that a perceivably significant increase of [latin small letter f with hook]0F2 could be produced by daytime solar flares occurring at times when the Sun's altitude is low; the effect is more marked in winter. In the light of this observation and previously published results it is possible to conclude that the solar flare-induced increase in the electron density of the F2-layer can be observed when hmF2 is low (300 km or below) and other factors such as tidal and electromagnetic drift forces are less active at the time of occurrence of the flare. It is further attempted to show that changes [latin small letter f with hook]0F2 that follow a solar flare have no connection with those produced by geomagnetic disturbances at low magnetic latitudes.
