Scientific paper

Numerical simulation results on global distributions of electron density and temperature in the F-region are presented for equinox conditions. These results illustrate the effects of the magnetic conjugacy of hot spots, taking into account the noncoincidence of the earth's geographic and geomagnetic axes. It is shown that the hot spots are formed on near-sunset sections of the main ionospheric trough due to the lowered specific heat of the electron gas on these sections, and are controlled to a significant degree of by heat fluxes from the protonosphere along geomagnetic field lines.
