Scientific paper

The AE-C satellite measurements of electron temperature and ion concentration are used to construct a model of the relationship between these parameters and its variation with altitude in the daytime, nonauroral ionosphere. The major features of the model are that electron temperature is independent of ion concentration at altitudes below 200 km and that electron temperature varies inversely with ion concentration above perhaps 250 km. This behavior is qualitatively consistent with current theoretical models of ionospheric heating and cooling.
