Popis: This paper presents the precepts to the development of a high-latitude semi-empirical model and the results obtained by modeling electron density in the height range 100 to 500 km. When constructing the model, advantage was taken of an earlier approach used to model the midlatitude ionosphere, in which, based on empirical data a map of critical frequencies foF2 is deduced. The electron density profile is calculated by solving the set of aeronomic equations controlling the electron and ion distribution.
