Abstract:
F layer ionospheric data collected during the partial solar eclipses of 20 June and 14 December 1955 have been analysed. In order to study the effects of the eclipses at several heights, the electron density height profiles have been obtained from the h -f curves for several levels between 250 and 400 km. Assuming a model of the ionosphere in which electron loss is by an attachment process, the magnitudes of the movement terms of the continuity equation have been derived and discussed for the two eclipses and their respective control days
