Scientific paper

A numerical and analytical study is made of the approach to steady state of density depressions formed at the reflection height of HF waves propagating in a daytime ionosphere. A time-dependent transport code including the effect of dissociative recombination is used to study the time evolution of these thermal cavitons. The time-asymptotic results are compared with the predictions of a steady state model developed by Vas'kov and Gurevich (1976). It is found that their model overestimates the depth of density cavities by a factor of 2.
