This article considers sparse available data on variations in the main parameters of the ionospheric F2 layer foF2(ss + 2) and hmF2(ss + 2) at the end of the 1990s and the beginning of 2000s. It is shown that the monotonous behavior of hmF2(ss + 2) obtained in earlier publications for the period after 1980 is violated. The hmF2(ss + 2) behavior obtains a more complicated nature by time with a tendency towards a decrease in hmF2(ss + 2) at the beginning of a new century. A statistically significant relationship between foF2(ss + 2) and hmF2(ss + 2) is discovered confirming the Rishbeth statement that during the first hours after sunset, the critical frequency foF2 is governed by dynamical processes via changes in the F2-layer height. It is found that at the end of the interval in question, there is a tendency towards deviations from the above-mentioned dependence. The latter could be a manifestation of the fact that changes in the aeronomical parameters caused by the general cooling and contraction of the thermosphere begin influencing the foF2 value. It is found that in the summer months, the foF2(ss + 2) value demonstrated a systematic decline tendency from the "boundary date" towards the beginning of the 2000s.
