Scientific paper

A model of gravity wave propagation in the upper thermosphere and of gravity wave-ionization interaction in the F-region of the ionosphere is constructed in order to form a base for the interpretation of oscillatory perturbations of the total electron content of the ionosphere in terms of gravity waves. The model takes into account chiefly thermal conductivity and the neutral wind and its stratification. Perturbations of electron density during passage of a gravity wave are calculated by Hooke's (1968) formula. The perturbation of the integrated electron content is calculated for a spherical earth. Azimuthal response of the integrated electron content is calculated for a geostationary satellite for the three cases of no neutral wind, neutral wind constant with height, and neutral wind varying with height. The results confirm the directional filtering effect of the response of the integrated electron content during passage of a medium-scale gravity wave.
