BENCHMARK-76: Model Computations for Disturbed Atmospheric Conditions. III. Results for Selected Excitation Parameters at 60 km.

Abstract

Electron, positive and negative ion densities have been computed as a function of time at an altitude of 60 km under conditions where the prompt ionization parameter was assigned the values ten to the eighth, tenth or eleventh power per cubic centimeter and the delayed ionization parameter was assigned the values ten to the sixth, eighth or tenth power ion pairs per cubic centimeter per second, subject to the condition that the magnitude of the former be greater than the magnitude of the latter. Model times extend the 10,000 seconds in most cases and computations were made for daytime and nighttime conditions. Selected results and limited comparisons are reported together with the variations of the computed equivalent rate coefficients with time and with ionization conditions. (Author)
