Scientific paper

Energetic charged particle population detectors were carried by sounding rockets in the Energy Budget Campaign. Ion production is found to dominate over all other night-time production processes even under almost quiet conditions. Number densities of electrons and positive ions were also studied. The electron loss rate was derived as a function of altitude under different levels of ionospheric disturbance. Despite the large scatter the loss rate is found to decrease systematically with increasing ion production (or electron density). Such behavior is expected from theoretical ion-chemical models, but dependence on ion production or electron density is found to be much stronger than predicted.
