Electrostatic analyzers aboard the Vertical-6 rocket were used to study vertical variations of charged-particle temperature and density at heights of 200-1200 km during quiet-solar conditions on October 25, 1977. The heating of the electron-ion gas was found to have an essentially nonmonotonic character. Above the F-region maximum, significant fluctuations of ion-gas temperature were observed, apparently associated with vertical variations of cooling and heating due to the excitation of the fine structure of atomic-oxygen levels as well as due to the effect of ion-exchange reactions. The maximum heating of ion gas occurs at heights where hydrogen ions begin to predominate. It is noted that the results obtained can be used to improve existing ionospheric models relating to periods of low solar activity.
