Abstract: | Rocket borne Langmuir probe measurements of electron temperature in the E-region are examined in relation to recent laboratory investigations of surface drift effects which can lead to erroneously high and time-dependent electron temperature measurements. The rocket data is consistent with the laboratory expectations thus supporting the suggested importance of surface effects in rocket measurements and in relation to the E-region discrepancy with simultaneous incoherent radar scatter measurements. |
