Fig. 13.1. Plots of the height dependency of the electron temperature T e ( z ) caused
by the right-polarized HF-wave in the dayside ionosphere. The intensities of the
wave electric field are 0 . 5 V/m (left) and 5 V/m (right) at the bottom ionosphere.
The HF pump wave frequencies ω are shown at lines and given in units of 10 7 rad/s

Here κ =Im n , the refractive index n is defined by the Appleton-Hartree
formula (see Chapter 12). The calculation procedure utilized in calculations
of Σ P and Σ H is the following. An intensity of the electric field E ( z )ofa
non-linear wave (the right-hand and left-hand) within the ionosphere is com-
puted at every step of the integration of (13.3). Then, using (13.2), electron
temperatures is found at the corresponding heights.
Figure 13.1 shows the calculated height dependency of ratio T e /T e 0 of
the perturbed electron temperature T e to the background T e 0 . Both frames
show this ratio for the dayside ionosphere. The left frame is for the applied
electric field E =0 . 5 V/m and the right frame is for E =5V/matthe
bottom of the ionosphere z =65km. E (V/m ) at the height z (km) and an
effective radiation power W e ff (kW) of a ground equivalent transmitting dipole
are related as E =0 . 3 W/z . So the chosen E correspond, respectively, to
