The secular equation which essentialy describes a local-height property of the interaction between an atmospheric gravity wave and the ionospheric F-layer (the wave being assumed to be subjected to losses due to viscosity, thermal conduction and ion drag) is numerically solved, with special interest in the effect of plasma diffusion. The wave which is thought to produce medium-scale travelling ionospheric disturbances in mid-latitudes is chosen to be typical as a numerical example. The main conclusion of this study is that plasma diffusion only slightly affects the vertical component of propagation constants of the wave, but does affect the relative amplitudes and phases between the quantities of ionization and neutral gas. Some results of local-height properties of ion density perturbation are compared with those of earlier studies.
