英文摘要	This paper presents a review of the progress in the understanding of an additional layer in the low latitude ionosphere, the F-3 layer. A brief introduction to the daytime equatorial electrodynamics required for understanding the formation of F-3 layer and formation of the usual ionospheric regions and layers are also included for continuity. Numerous papers on various aspects of F-3 layer and topside ledge (F-3 layer in the topside ionosphere) were published by different research groups using observations and modelling. The first time observations and important new aspects are highlighted and areas for further studies are suggested in this review. The important new aspects include an automated procedure for identifying F-3 layer, global map of F-3 layer and its longitudinal wave structure, solar activity variation of F-3 layer and its long term trend, F-3 layer in TEC, F-3 layer at sunrise and sunset hours, simultaneous observations of F-3 layer and upward ExB drift velocity, simultaneous observations of F-3 layer in conjugate summer and winter locations, rapid ascend of F-3 layer during geomagnetic storms as an indicator of eastward prompt penetration electric field and mechanism of F-4 layer. Main points are summarized at the end.
