Short summary
This paper investigate how radio wave heating affect the electron distribution in the D region. Radio wave heating can lead to absorption of radio wave energy by electrons, thereby increasing the temperature. Electrons are cooled by inelastic collisions with the neutrals atmosphere, affecting the electron distribution since electrons lose energy by exciting different states in neutrals. Thus, electrons are redistributed to lower energies, which changes the shape of the electron distribution.
