Abstract

The problem of forecasting the parameters of the lower ionosphere is one of the most urgent in studies of the upper geospheres. The problem of determining the optimal number of photochemical processes that should be taken into account when constructing a plasma-chemical model of the D-region of the ionosphere for a correct and prompt calculation of the electron concentration Ne is quite acute. The aim of this work is to select the optimal scheme of the ionizationrecombination cycle of the lower ionosphere for calculating Ne under various heliogeophysical conditions. In this work, a comparative analysis of the height profiles of Ne obtained using the 4-, 5-, and 8-component plasma-chemical models in quiet conditions and during X-ray flares is carried out.
