Abstract

Analysis of the EISCAT UHF CP1-J data during daytime and nighttime ion frictional heating events indicates that the temperature of heavier ions increases much more than that of lighter ions and the concentration of molecular ions increases while that of atomic ions decreases. These indications are studied through model calculations.
