This response is shown to be highly anisotropic, with the anisotropy itself depending on time of day, season, wave parameters, height, and geographic and geomagnetic location. Wave-associated changes in photoionization rate, and their dependence on the degree of alignment between the incoming solar radiation flux and surfaces of constant wave phase, play a dominant role in determining the anisotropy. Wave-associated changes in attachmentlike chemical loss are also important. The response of the lower F region ionosphere to internal gravity waves therefore differs fundamentally from the response at higher levels, where ion lifetimes are long and wave-associated photochemical effects can be ignored, so that geomagnetic constraints on ion motion play the primary role in determining the anisotropy.
