Statistical models expressing the Hall and Pedersen conductances and their ratio as functions of cosmic noise absorption (CNA) are derived for five intervals of magnetic local time. The models are based on simultaneous measurements of electron densities from the EISCAT UHF radar at Tromso (69.6 N, 1...
