Scientific paper

Incoherent scatter radar data on electron and ion temperature from the Jicamarca Radar Observatory for the period 1967-68 and early 1969 are reexamined. Clear evidence is found of systematic nighttime temperature increases, presumably associated with the 'midnight pressure bulge' and the collapse of the middle latitude F region. An important new finding is that the temperature enhancements tend on the average to occur about two hours before midnight in the local summer and about one hour after midnight in the local winter.
