Abstract An attempt has been made to review some of the more recent developments in incoherent scatter research relating to the D-region of the ionosphere, and most accent has been placed on the most recent research. As a preamble, the basic relevant incoherent scatter theory is introduced, but without so much mathematics as to confuse the reader. Research has tended to concentrate on three distinct areas: (i) electron density and energy distribution, (ii) ion chemistry and (iii) neutral dynamics, corresponding to the three parameters directly measured by the radars: power, spectral width and bulk Doppler shift respectively. This review is thus divided into corresponding sections.
