These heating and cooling rates are then used to derive the electron temperature T_e. The calculated values of electron temperature are found to be higher than neutral temperature through out the altitude range 100∿150 km, with the difference increasing with increase in altitude. However, compared to observed values of T_e, the calculated values are still smaller below about 130 km. Above this altitude, the calculated values become larger. Estimation of T_e for different, suggested values of heating efficiency due to dissociative recombination, show that T_e profile obtained even by assuming a constant value of 1.3 eV is in fairly good agreement with those derived based on varibale values of this parameter., 資料番号: SA0035118000}, pages = {1--16}, title = {Electron Temperatures in the E-Region of the Ionosphere}, volume = {641}, year = {1991} }
