Scientific paper

At least in daylight conditions the distribution of the electron population is not Maxwellian in most of the ionosphere since a high-energy tail results from degrading photo-electrons. This supra-thermal tail may influence propagation and absorption of waves in the plasma. An observed typical energy spectrum shows that a concept in which two Maxwellian populations are combined is unable to yield an adequate description. Another one is proposed which admits a continuous transition.
