  • Abstract
    Following a brief historical introduction, the paper reviews the types of data which concern ionospheric F region theory. The physical processes which are believed to control the variations of electron density in the F1 and F2 layers are then discussed. Possible explanations of several F region phenomena are presented, together with a brief consideration of magnetic storm effects.
