The altitude distribution of radio wave absorption in the ionosphere and the profiles of electron temperature at altitudes between 100 and 150 km are obtained on the basis of an analysis of data on the simultaneous measurement of radio wave absorption in the ionosphere during an annual cycle by radio astronomical and pulse methods. It is shown that for the years close to minimum solar activity (W = 10-15) most of the absorption (70 to 85%) occurs in the lower ionosphere (D and E layers). Seasonal variations in the altitude-dependence of absorption is dictated primarily by the seasonal variations in electron density and to a lesser extent by the seasonal variations in electron temperature. In the lower ionosphere, absorption is divided into deflecting and nondeflecting components.
