“…Above the F2 peak the topside electron density values predicted by an α ‐Chapman shape of the profile fall off rapidly compared to those obtained by WM sounding (Figures 14a and 14d, dash dot curves). This result is consistent with that of Nsumei et al [2010], who found that the Chapman scale height values for the F2 layer peak derived from topside profiles, H m , top , are generally several times larger than H m , bot derived from bottomside profiles.…”

“…The trend in the variation of electron density, that is, decrease in the electron density with increasing L-shell, is consistent with the past measurements by ground ionosondes (Nsumei et al, 2010), International Sun-Earth Explorer (ISEE) data, and those obtained from lightning-generated whistlers (Carpenter & Anderson, 1992). The green cross and black horizontal lines at the F 2 peak altitude in Figures 5a and 5c represent average quiet time n e at the F 2 peak and typical variation of quiet time density at L ∼ 3 and ∼10 MLT around the average value obtained from the past bottomside sounding results (Rishbeth & Mendillo, 2001).…”

“…During daytime, the H m values range between 20 and 70 km and during nighttime between 30 and 52 km. Nsumei et al (2010) have evaluated the daily variations of the bottomside-derived H m at different latitudes, and have reported a latitude dependence in agreement with our current results. Moreover, the results reported by Zhang et al (2006), Lee and Reinisch (2007), and Nambala et al (2008), using data from Hainan (19.4 • N; 109.0 • E), Jicamarca (12.0…”

“…Moreover, H m values produced routinely by digisondes can be helpful for constructing the topside electron-density profile when using an appropriate correction factor to estimate the topside scale height (Kutiev et al, 2009). Recent results clearly show that the ratio of H m values deduced from topside and bottomside measurements depend on the local time and latitude (Nsumei et al, 2010). Thus, a better knowledge of the behavior of H m enables a better estimation of vertical profiles to be obtained.…”
