Scientific paper

With a view to investigating properties of the high latitude D-region during disturbed conditions, a coordinated study of partial reflection measurements of electron densities is undertaken, together with estimated ion-pair production rates from observations of energetic electrons by the satellite GEOS-2 during intervals of auroral radio absorption recorded by riometers. The viability of this approach to the problem is found to be restricted, and limitations on the wider applicability of such intercomparisons are identified. For the weak-to-moderately-disturbed events which were able to be examined in detail, the results give better resolution in height than a previously reported profile of effective recombination coefficients during D-region disturbances, and suggest a steeper slope at altitudes of 75-80 km.
