A model of high-latitude ionization is formulated which describes the formation and maintenance of the cosmic-ray layer in the lower ionosphere as well as atmospheric electrical parameters. The model specifically addresses the anomalous cosmic-ray (ACR) component in the energetic interval between 0.001 and 0.03 GeV/n. A two-stage model of cosmic-ray/atmosphere interaction is developed, and expressions are given for each component of energetic region. The model is argued to be more complete than that by Vellinov (1990) because it accounts for the energetic intervals I, II, III, and IV and therefore gives a broader picture of ionospheric and middle-atmospheric ionization. The ACR component is argued to be an important component connecting the ionosphere and interplanetary space by means of solar-terrestrial influences, particularly at the polar cap at night.
