Scientific paper

Ionospheric composition data sensed by a Bennett ion mass spectrometer on-board the ISS-b spacecraft were used to characterize the diurnal, latitudinal, and seasonal variations in the ion composition. The data were gathered in the August 1978 to December 1979 interval, a period of maximum solar activity. The midlatitude trough structure was consistently represented by the H(+) and He(+) latitudinal profiles, and appeared deeper at night than during the day. A deeper equatorial depression of He(+) was also observed at night, while seasonal variations of the same ions, which displayed the winter bulge structure, disappeared at night. The midlatitude trough dependence on the Kp index was statistically defined from latitudinally invariant H(+) profiles.
