Abstract

Due to the difficulty of experimental measurements, the issue of modeling the lower ionosphere is still quite relevant. The high sensitivity of the solutions of the ionization-recombination cycle equations to changes in the values of the input parameters requires a high accuracy of the latter. In this work, a numerical assessment of the range of electron concentration values obtained as a result of varying the temperature T and the concentrations of the main and small neutral components of the atmosphere [O₂], [N₂], [O], [NO], [O₂( ¹Δ_g)] was carried out. Variations of the input parameters were carried out within the ranges of their inaccuracies obtained from various sources of information. Below 65 km, the obtained error of Ne values was more than 1 order, regardless of the degree of disturbance of the medium. Above this boundary, range of values becomes smaller and reaches a local maximum at 80 km. In all other cases, fluctuations in the electron concentration do not exceed 2–3 times.
