The electron temperature variations are investigated above Arecibo, Jicamarca, Millstone Hill, St. Santin and a polar area located at the meridian of Millstone Hill. The data analyzed represent quiet geomagnetic conditions (Kp not greater than 3) during a solar maximum (1967-1970). A simple analytical model which includes Fourier terms and cubic splines (for approximating the height dependence of the coefficients) describes the diurnal and seasonal pattern of the electron temperature in the altitude interval 200-3500 km. Three height regions are particularly striking, i.e. near 200 km where the diurnal variations show a sinusoidal pattern, the altitude interval up to approximately 1000 km which exhibits strong temperature gradients and a complex diurnal and seasonal structure, and the upper region beyond 100 km which reflects a sinusoidal pattern but with a very pronounced latitudinal dependence.
