Continuing former studies, the diurnal differences of electron density distribution above F2-maximum in mean northern latitudes in summer and winter are investigated using data from Faraday-fading analysis of the Sputnik III signals. The obtained diurnal variations of plasma temperature are very pronounced in summer, 3.8-3.9 · 103 °K to 1.8-1.9 · 103 °K, whilst in winter they are only 1.7-1.8 · 103 °K to 1.3-1.4 · 103 °K. Thus the entire thermal behaviour of the ionized constituents in the outer ionosphere seems to be different from that of the neutral gas. Some minor features of the electron density distribution possibly may be explained by vertical drifts, but they are still poorly understood.
