Scientific paper

Diffusion equations for O(+) and H(+) ions for ionosphere-plasmasphere interaction are derived from the transport equations formulated by Schunk (1975). Low-speed geomagnetic field aligned flow was assumed and the interaction between different kinds of ions, between ions and electrons, and between ions and neutrals taken into account. The appropriate terms of the equations have been derived and the transport coefficients calculated using parameters typical for the mid-latitude ionosphere and the ionospheric main trough. It is found that interaction of ions with neutral particles influences to some extent the ion thermal diffusion. Diffusion equations retaining only terms not smaller than one-tenth of the largest are given.
