Scientific paper

Height-integrated heat input from Joule dissipation and particle precipitation into the high latitude ionosphere, as derived from 1985 and 1986, EISCAT monostatic observations are presented. The results, representative for solar minimum conditions, are shown separately for winter and summer experiments as well as for low and high magnetic activity conditions as a function of universal time. Enhanced Joule and particle heating occur mainly before and after magnetic local midnight when EISCAT looks into the auroral oval. Significant deviations from this general pattern are observed depending on season and activity level. The average results are helpful for modeling purposes and estimates of gravity wave generation.
