THE ATMOSPHERIC CHEMICAL KINETICS OF N2O.
Abstract
The chemical kinetics of N2O are considered in detail. The mechanisms of formation and consumption of N2O and their total rates below 100 km were calculated as well as present knowledge of the parameters involved allows. N2O is formed by one or more of the reactions N2 + O(-) yields N2O + e, N2(A3&) + O2 yields N2O + O, and N2 + O N2O + photon. It is consummed by the photodissociation into N'2 + O and N + NO'. The rates of these reactions are slow enough to permit the mixing of N2O throughout this region of the atmosphere. (Author)
