F-region

Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-001081

In solar-terrestrial terms, the upper layer of the ionosphere, approximately 120 to 1500 km
in altitude. The F region is subdivided into the F1 and F2
regions. The F2 region is the most dense and peaks at altitudes
between 200 and 600 km. The F1 region is a smaller peak in
electron density, which forms at lower altitudes in the daytime.
