Scientific paper

From incoherent scatter data collected at the Arecibo Observatory from 1965-1968 a comparison was made between measured values of nighttime F-region electron and ion temperature and the plasma temperature inferred from the topside scale height of the measured electron concentration profile. It was found that these temperatures agreed to within a few per cent, implying that the exospheric temperature can be obtained with reasonable accuracy by either method. Caution must be exercised in applying this conclusion to other latitudes and times because of the restrictive conditions required. These conditions are discussed briefly.
