Abstract A new opportunity for estimating the level of the turbopause is presented. It is based on the method of determining atmospheric parameters using artificial periodic irregularities of the ionospheric plasma (the API techniques). The obtained data show the presence of variations of the level of the turbopause. Experiments were carried out using SURA heating facility (56.1°N, 46.1°E) for API creation. Above the observation point the turbopause region occupies the altitude interval between 94 and 106 km. There are changes in the level of the turbopause during the day: in the evening hours the turbopause level can go down. Temporal variations of the turbopause level are observed. They are compared with variations in the atmospheric parameters at these heights.
