[1] We statistically analyze the ionospheric scale heights in the lower topside ionosphere based on the electron density (Ne) and temperature profiles observed from the incoherent scatter radar (ISR) at Arecibo (293.2E, 18.3N), Puerto Rico. In this study, a database containing the Arecibo ISR observations from 1966 to 2002 has been used in order to investigate the diurnal and seasonal variations and solar activity dependences of the vertical scale height (VSH), which is deduced from the electron concentration profiles
