Abstract:

A computer program has been developed for the nighttime D-region under disturbed steady-state conditions. The program provides for the determination of the electron concentration, total negative ion concentration, and the individual positive ion concentrations as a function of altitude. Model results are computed and compared with nighttime data obtained by various experimentalists during the 2 to 5 November 1969 solar proton event.
