Abstract

The peaks of the daytime E and D regions are considered to obey a simple q = α_eff [e]² law, where q is the ionization production rate, α_eff is the effective electron loss coefficient, and [e] is the electron concentration. Beyond this, the similarity of these adjacent ionospheric regions is inconsequential.
