The background absorption at high latitudes

M. Harrich, M. Friedrich, S. R. Marple, and K. M. Torkar

Abstract. The high latitude ionosphere is more often disturbed than quiet, i.e. fluxes of charged particles dominate over solar controlled ionisation. Nonetheless, the actual amount of the predictable, solar-controlled ionisation and the resulting absorption is of interest for some applications.
