One of the Keneshea computer codes (see AD-424 173) was adapted for use on the Ballistic Research Laboratories Electronic Scientific Computer. Using this modified code, reaction rate equations were solved for the following 15 species: e, NO2( - ), O( - ), O2( - ), O3( - ), N2(+), NO(+), O(+), O2(+), N, NO, N2O, NO2, O, and O3. The calculations were made for a 4:1 mixture of N2 and O2 at 1 torr total pressure and 300K. Rate constants as given by Keneshea and Fowler (see AD-646 975) were used. The solutions are presented as number densities versus time after the start of the irradiating electron beam. A description of the modified code is presented. (Author).

The chemistry of the E-region is fairly well understood and even many of the dynamical complications of this region have been successfully modeled on individual bases. Some of the major remaining problems of this region are discussed, in particular the nitric oxide concentration, a gas affecting the ratio of the two major E-region ions, O2(+) and NO(+). The D-region is much simpler than the E-region from a dynamical point of view but extremely much more complex from a chemical standpoint. Recent results from a study of the D-region under bombardment by solar protons is emphasized.
This book contains the lectures presented at the Summer Advanced Study Institute, 'Physics and Chemistry of Atmospheres' which was held at the University of Liege, Belgium, during the period July 29-August 9, 1974. One-hundred nineteen persons from eleven different countries attended the Institute. The authors and publisher have made a special effort for rapid publication of an up to-date status of the physics and chemistry ofthe atmospheres of Earth and the plan ets, which is an ever-changing area. Special thanks are due to the lecturers for their diligent preparation and excellent presentations. The individual lectures and the published papers were deliberately limited; the authors' cooper...
