Scientific paper

The penetration of strong electron temperature and concentration disturbances, due to heating by a high-power radio wave, from the ionosphere to the earth plasmasphere is modeled numerically. The following effects, characteristic of the nighttime ionosphere, are discovered: rapid growth of the electron temperature in the ionospheric F layer, excitation of a strong thermal wave with a sharp front in the plasmasphere, an abrupt decrease in charged particle concentration in the upper ionosphere and plasmasphere, and formation of a solitary ion-acoustic compression wave propagating through the plasmasphere. In the daytime, the processes are significantly slowed down, and strong perturbations do not penetrate the magnetosphere.
