Fig. 11

Seven electron density profiles from the primary mission that have been suggested, based on visual inspection of published figures for layers of plasma near 90 km altitude, to contain meteoric layers. Orbit numbers are given below each profile. Electron densities in the profiles from orbits 5, 6, 10, 30, 31, 43, and 67 have been multiplied by factors of 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, and 106 respectively, for clarity
