Scientific paper

Partial reflection technique observations of diurnal and seasonal electron density variations at a site located 52 deg N show an asymmetry in the diurnal electron density variation to exist in all seasons over the 76-82 km altitude range. It is shown, by means of an ion-chemical scheme, that this asymmetry is due to the asymmetry in the diurnal variation of electron loss coefficient. This, in turn, occurs because of an asymmetry in diurnal temperature variation. The mesosphere appears to cool down at times, near local noon.
