Scientific paper

It is assumed that sporadic-E is caused by the vertical movement of ionisation to form a layer of enhanced ionisation, the limiting width of such a layer being determined by the effects of diffusion. Thus since the diffusion constant varies markedly with geomagnetic latitude it is predicted that layer formation will be more likely near to the geomagnetic equator and that the layer thickness will vary as sin I, where I is the angle of magnetic dip.
