AE Reaction Rate Data.

Abstract

The Atmosphere Explorer satellites carried a complement of instruments to measure simultaneously the ion and neutral composition of the atmosphere, the electron and neutral particle temperatures, various airglow emissions and the solar ionizing flux (Dalgarno et al. 1973). Detailed theoretical analyses have been performed from which empirical values of the rate coefficients of atmospheric ion-molecule reactions have been derived. The AE results have been reviewed recently (Torr and Torr 1978, Swider 1978). Laboratory studies have continued and they have also been reviewed recently (Albritton 1978, Ferguson et al. 1979).
