Scientific paper

The effects in the daytime ionosphere during minimum solar activity are calculated by integrating numerically the system composed of the unsteady-state continuity equations for O2(+), NO(+), O(+), and H(+) ions, the equations of motion of the neutral gas, and the heat balance equations for electrons and ions at heights ranging from 100 to 1000 km. The expressions for the velocities of O(+) and H(+) ions, allowing for diffusion, electromagnetic drift, and wind entrainment, are taken in a general form proposed by Stubbe (1970). The upper boundary conditions (at 1000 km) are taken in the form of ion and electron temperature values that are alike, regardless of the presence or absence of an electric field. It is shown that the principal effects are the damping of F2-maximum height variations by neutral winds, and the weak influence of electric-field-generated ionospheric protonospheric plasma flows, as compared to nighttime conditions.
