Scientific paper

Ionograms taken at Maiduguri, Nigeria, during the total solar eclipse of 2nd October, 1959, have been analysed to determine the photochemical rates in the F-region. It is found that the variations of electron density at fixed altitudes are consistent with a [`]linear' loss coefficient [beta] which varies with altitude as and an electron production rate q given by . These values of q and [beta] are shown to be consistent with measurements of other workers when allowance is made for temperature variations during the solar cycle. The transition level between a quadratic and linear loss rate is found to occur at about 300 km.
