Abstract
The long-term variability of the critical frequency of the F2 ionospheric l ayer, f0F2, has been investigated as a possible indicator of the increasing greenhouse effect. The preliminary results obtained by analysing 34 years of data from high latitude ionospheric stations in the Southern Hemisphere have shown a decreasing of the plasma frequency according to what predicted by theoretical model calculations.
