The theoretical formulations of Dougherty and Farley (1963) and of Waldteufel (1969, 1970) for the interpretation of the incoherent scattering data from the collision dominated D-regions and E-regions are discussed, and comparison is made with experimental results. Incoherent scatter data from D-region heights over Arecibo show Dougherty and Farley's formulation to be the correct one due to the fact that ions lose both momentum and energy to neutrals during a collision, and that neither should be conserved as far as the ion gas is concerned. The ratio of the number density to neutral temperature in the D-region over Arecibo could be measured to accuracies of a few percent with the incoherent scatter technique, and good agreement is found between measurements and results of the CIRA (1972) model.
