The vertical diffusion of ions under the action of gravity and of a rate of electron loss which decreases exponentially with height is shown to correspond to heat conduction in a rod with a heat-source distribution and radiation from the lateral surface. Electron density is determined as a time-periodic function of the height and is expressed in the form of an infinite series.
