Scientific paper

It is postulated that the behavior of the D region parameters, first and foremost the electron concentration, is controlled not only (and probably not primarily) by the variations in solar and geophysical parameters but also by the changes in the characteristics of the strato-mesosphere, its thermal and dynamical regime. This is seen as the essence of the meteorological control of the D region. The way that this meteorological control is exercised, that is, the influence of the meteorological parameter on the D region characteristics, is investigated. The goal is to determine the indices which, together with the well known solar and geophysical indices, could be used to adequately describe the behavior of the D region. Calculations are performed showing that the experimentally observed seasonal variations in the ion composition, which lead to the systematic summer-to-winter difference in the electron concentration, can be accounted for by the seasonal changes in the mesospheric temperature.
