A vertical profile of the ion temperature in the ionosphere at local afternoon in the region from 95 to 310 km is measured directly using an improved retarding potential analyzer system aboard a space sounding rocket. A large scale ion temperature profile and an oscillation of the temperature with altitude are found. Results show that the ion temperature below 150 km is the same as that of the neutral temperature at high solar activity. Above 150 km, the average ion temperature gradually becomes higher, and the temperature profile contains a wavelike structure. It is found, however, that the observed vertical wavelength and the horizontal wavelength deduced from the critical frequencies of ionosonde stations cannot be related to the large scale and small scale atmospheric propagation using the simple linearized wave equation.
