Ozone production rates in an oxygen-hydrogen-nitrogen oxide atmosphere
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that an artificial increase of the mixing ratio of the oxides of nitrogen in the stratosphere by about 1×10−8 may lead to observable changes in the atmospheric ozone level.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rocket measurements of upper atmospheric nitric oxide and their consequences to the lower ionosphere
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the nitric oxide density profile in the upper atmosphere between 70 and 110 km with scanning ultraviolet spectrometers aboard two Nike-Apache rockets on February 6 and January 31, 1969.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reactions of Metastable Nitrogen Atoms
TL;DR: The line absorption technique was applied to the kinetic study of the two metastable atomic nitrogen states N (22D) and N(22P) in a flowing afterglow system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Temperature dependence of some ionospheric ion-neutral reactions from 300°–900°K
TL;DR: In this article, a flowing afterglow system that operates from 300° to 900°K has been used to measure the temperature dependence of a number of aeronomically important reaction rate constants over this temperature range.

The role of metastable species in the thermosphere
Marsha R. Torr,D. G. Torr +1 more
TL;DR: The role of these species in the overall thermospheric energy budget and ionization balance is also quantified in this paper, with a major fraction of the kinetic heating of the thermosphere taking place through O(1D).

Mass spectrometric measurements of positive ions at altitudes from 64 to 112 kilometers
R. S. Narcisi,A. D. Bailey +1 more
TL;DR: A quadrupole mass spectrometer system employing a liquid nitrogen chilled zeolite pump has recently been developed for sampling positive ions at altitudes above 50 km as discussed by the authors, where the predominant ions detected within the D region (64 to 82 km) were 19+, 30+, and (37±1)+, with 32+ rapidly rising above 75 km approaching the abundance of 30+ at 83 km.
Journal ArticleDOI
The theory of dissociative recombination
TL;DR: It is suggested that there are two distinct modes of dissociative recombination, which are called direct and indirect, and it is shown that spectroscopic data can be used to give estimates of these rates.

Ion–Molecule Reaction Studies from 300° to 600°K in a Temperature‐Controlled Flowing Afterglow System
TL;DR: In this paper, the flowing afterglow technique for ion-neutral reaction rate constant studies has been modified to cover a range of gas temperature from 82° to 600°K.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vacuum‐Ultraviolet Photolysis of N2O. IV. Deactivation of N(2D)
TL;DR: In this article, the rate coefficients for removal of N(2D) by several simple molecules were analyzed and the decay curves were analyzed to give the same rate coefficients as observed at 1470 A, although there is evidence that an additional NO(B 2Π) production mechanism is involved.

Rocket measurement of the nitric oxide dayglow
TL;DR: A scanning ultraviolet spectrometer was flown from Wallops Island, Virginia, on NASA Aerobee 4.85 on November 17, 1963, at 1:15 P.M. EST to an altitude of 184 km as mentioned in this paper.
