The Physics and Chemistry of Two NRL Codes for the Disturbed E and F Regions.
Abstract
NRL has developed two computer codes to describe the ionization and deionization phenomena of the upper atmosphere. The detailed physics and the chemistry of these codes, called the Simple and the Master Codes, describe the disturbed E and F regions of the ionosphere. The Simple Code carries less species (atoms, molecules, and ions) than the Master Code, but both codes are used to calculate three temperatures-electron N2 vibrational, and heavy particle. Both codes agree with each other in electron density calculations to better than 20%. (Author)
