increases with solar activity for all cases. Solar cycle effects are strongest at low altitudes. Te changes over the solar cycle are generally much smaller than those of Ne and show a seasonal dependence during daytime: increases in summer, constant or small decrease in winter, decrease in equinox. FLIP generally confirms the Ne trends seen in our data base. FLIP agrees well with the Te daytime values. During nighttime FLIP overestimates the winter values and underestimates the summer and equinox data
