Modern Photochemical Theory and Explanation of the Behavior of the Ion Concentration Above 100 km,
Abstract
Modern problems of upper atmosphere photo-chemistry are examined, which are now mainly concentrated in the region of the lower ionosphere (50-200 km). The arrangement of the processes, which govern the behavior of ionized particles at different levels of the lower ionosphere, is presented and discussed. A detailed analysis is given of the variations in the ion composition and the connection between the behavior of neutral and ionized particles is studied. A detailed description is given for the new trends in atmospheric photochemistry, i.e., the study of the reactions with excited particles. Both sides of the problem are considered: the photochemistry of excited atoms and molecules itself, and the contribution of these particles to such important questions of the physics of the ionization, electron balance, and nitric oxide formation.
