The case for diffuse, collisionally ionized interstellar C IV and SI IV below Z = 1 KPC
Highly ionized gas in the galactic disk and disc/halo interface regionwas studied using IUE observations of C IV and Si IV absorption in 19codirectional sight-lines to early-type stars. Evidence for a generallydistributed, collisionally ionized phase of this gas having a density inthe plane of 3 times 10 to the minus 9th power/cc and a scale height inthe range of 1 to 3 kpc is presented. It is shown that the use of arestricted range of sight-line directions in studies such as this mayreduce confusion resulting from inhomogeneities in the distribution ofthe highly ionized medium.
