Scientific paper

The quiet D- and E-regions are presently modeled by the Mitra-Rowe (1972) simplified six-ion model and the Sodankyla Geophysical Observatory's 35-ion model, using EISCAT UHF and VHF summer data as constraints. After adjusting the solar flux to obtain a fit at E-region altitudes, followed by adjustment of the nitric oxide profile, the effects of a change in solar zenith angle is compared with observations while the same model inputs are maintained. Good agreement is obtained between final models and observations in the 80-110 km range. The derived nitric oxide profiles have elevated peak concentrations, perhaps due to an enhancement of thermospheric nitric oxide by morning-sector energetic particle precipitation.
