Scientific paper

An analysis of radio-absorption data indicates that a D-region electron-density anomaly exists above the mountains of Central Asia. It is shown that this anomaly correlates well with the latitude shift of the axis of the planetary western air stream in the troposphere with respect to the mountain system. Macroscale waves which arise produce changes in the temperature, density, and composition of trace constituents of the stratosphere and mesosphere above the mountains. The photochemical reaction rate changes, leading to the appearance of the D-region anomaly relative to neighboring valleys.
