Short summary
We use a novel technique to infer long-term compositional changes to the thermosphere from the annual variation of the ionospheric F2 region. A global analysis of these data reveal that long-term changes differ between geographic locations in a way that is very similar to the observed variation in the ionospheric response to increased atmospheric CO2 levels. In the absence of long-term measurements of thermospheric composition, further, detailed, modelling work is required.
