Rodriguez, J.V. and Inan, U.S. (1994). Electron density changes in the nighttime D region due to heating by very-low-frequency transmitters. Geophysical Research Letters 21: doi: 10.1029/93GL03007. issn: 0094-8276.

Modification of the nighttime D region electron density (Ne) due to heating by very-low-frequency (VLF) transmitters is investigated theoretically using a four-species model of the ion chemistry. The effects of a 100 kW, a 265 kW, and a 1000 kW VLF transmitter are calculated for three ambient Ne profiles. Results indicate that Ne is reduced by up to 26% at ~80 km altitude over a 1000 kW transmitter. ¿ American Geophysical Union 1994
