Electron density changes in the nighttime D region due to heating by very-low-frequency transmittersModification of the nighttime D region electron density (N(sub e)) 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 N(sub e) profiles. Results indicate that N(sub e) is reduced by up to 26% at approximately 80 km altitude over a 1000 kW transmitter.
