Long-term ionospheric cooling: Dependency on local time, season, solar activity, and geomagnetic activity

Ionospheric ion temperature Ti is an excellent approximation to neutral temperature Tn in the thermosphere, especially for altitudes below 300 km. This analysis of long‒term Ti trends in the F region over different local times is based on a database of incoherent scatter radar (ISR) observations spa...
