Studies of electron scale heights obtained from topside ionograms lead to the conclusion that energetic particles do not usually affect the ionospheric plasma temperature at heights of 400 or 500 km. During magnetic disturbances, however, the electron scale heights in the region of the South Atlantic magnetic anomaly, but not at other longitudes, appear to be abnormal, possibly as the result of particle dumping. It is suggested that some of the localized ionization abnormalities occurring in the South Atlantic area at certain L-values may be caused by particles dumped there and evidence of a possible association between spread-F ionization and energetic particles is presented. Unfortunately no direct proof exists of the reality of the particle effects discussed.
