The midlatitude nighttime E region was modeled with three ion species including a metallic ion species, Mg+. Time‐dependent ionization profiles, including diffusion, were calculated for five wind profiles measured over Wallops Island, Virginia, on 22 February 1968. Model‐generated profiles are compared with electron density measurements from the same night.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
