Abstract By using data from a low middle latitude station (San Juan: 31.5°S; 68.5°W) it is shown that the electron density and true height of the inflection point that characterizes, in most of the cases, the ionospheric layer F1 are linearly correlatedto f★F1 and h′F2. It is shown that f★F1 is also correlated to the electron density at fixed heights around 170 km. Comparison is made between the IRI-79 model and the point defined using f★F1 with the experimental true height profiles for medium and high solar activity and different seasons. Those points are a better estimate of the observed intermediate region over San Juan. An extension of the analysis using data from Tucumán (26.9°S; 65.4°W) suggests that the obtained results could be generalized at least for low latitude conditions.
