© 2016 COSPAR The ionospheric peak height in the F layer (hmF2) varies with not only thermospheric conditions but also dynamic processes in the upper atmosphere. At mid-latitudes, the field-aligned diffusion and recombination loss determine the hmF2 in the absence of applied vertical drift. Vertical...
