Scientific paper
A summary is presented of research contributions by U.S. scientists during the years 1983-1986, toward an increased understanding of the properties and behavior of the earth's thermosphere and F-region ionosphere. As part of the more extensive aeronomy report to IUGG, this review addresses specifically the composition and relevant chemical and thermal processes that influence this region of the atmosphere. The discussion focuses on the separate neutral and ion species, and on the temperatures of the electrons, ions, and neutral gas. Related aspects of the solar radiation and photoelectrons are also included. Direct observational results and analyses are emphasized, along with references to pertinent findings from basic laboratory and theoretical studies.
