| Research Abstract |
In this study, we addressed an estimation problem of the electron density profile on the lunar surface from spectrograms of natural plasma waves observed by the KAGUYA spacecraft. As a result, the moon does not have global and steady dense plasma layers which become an evidence of the lunar ionosphere.
