摘要: Abstract The global distribution and temporal variations of thermospheric heating due to Joule dissipation measured ionospheric electric fields are computed. It is shown that the volume rate at high middle latitude similar in magnitude altitudinal profile solar EUV absorption discussed previous papers. Thus, contributes significantly towards reconciling quantitatively known sources heat input required maintain normal thermosphere. combined source varies with annual cycle a manner closely resembling density.
