An analysis of the scale height at the F2-layer peak over three middle-latitude stations in the European sector

Original language description

This paper presents the results of an analysis of the variations of the scale height at the F-2-layer peak (H-m) under different seasonal and solar-activity conditions. The database includes hourly H-m values derived from ionograms recorded at three middle-latitude stations in the European sector: El Arenosillo (37.1 degrees N; 353.3 degrees E), Ebro (40.8 degrees N, 0.5 degrees E) and Pruhonice (50.0 degrees N; 15.0 degrees E). The results show that, in general: (1) H-m exhibits diurnal variation withhigher values during daytime than during night-time and secondary peaks around sunrise and sunset; (2) during winter time the scale height is lower than in summer time; (3) the scale heights increase with increasing solar activity; (4) H-m decreases whenthe latitude increases; (5) H-m shows a low correlation with the F-2-region peak parameters NmF2 and h(m)F(2) and a high correlation with the thickness parameter B-0 and the equivalent slab thickness E-ST; (6) the day-to-day variability
