“…In the last four decades many researchers (Mahajan et al, 1983;Taranenko et al, 1992;Pasko et al, 1995;Wescott et al, 1996;Rai et al, 1972;Yukhimuk et al, 1998;Eack et al, 2000;Singh and Patel, 2001 and others) have extensively studied the ionosphere for various aspects. These studies include experimental as well as theoretical methods for the determination of ionospheric composition, temperature anomalies and density etc.…”

“…The ionospheric temperatures also show variation associated with diurnal, seasonal, latitudinal, longitudinal altitude and in an 11-year solar cycle (Mahajan et al, 1983;Oyama et al, 1996a;Richards, 2001;Sharma et al, 2003b). The change in ionospheric temperatures may affect the radio communication, navigation, exploration of near Earth space, electronic systems in satellites and spacecraft (Kazimirovsky et Correspondence to: D. K. Sharma (dksphdes@iitr.ernet.in) al., 2003).…”

Abstract. The observations on the ionospheric electron and ion temperatures (T e and T i ) measured by the RPA payload aboard the SROSS-C2 satellite have been used to study the effect of solar flares on ionospheric heating. The data on solar flare has been obtained from the National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC) Boulder, Colorado (USA). It has been found that the electron and ion temperatures have a consistent enhancement during the solar flares on the dayside Earth's ionosphere. The estimated enhancement for the average electron temperature is from 1.3 to 1.9 times whereas for ion temperature it is from 1.2 to 1.4 times to the normal days average temperature. The enhancement of ionospheric temperatures due to solar flares is correlated with the diurnal variation of normal days' ionospheric temperatures. The solar flare does not have any significant effect on the nightside ionosphere. A comparison with the temperature obtained from the IRI-95 model also shows a similar enhancement.
