Scientific paper

The paper studies the diffusion of an artificially injected cloud of H2 in the ionosphere for minimum (T = 800 K) and minimum (T = 1400 K) sunspot activity. The released particles are assumed to be thermalized and dominated by mutual diffusion shortly after release. The molecular diffusion process is considered in concurrence with the chemical loss process whereby H2 combines with excited oxygen to form OH and H. The mathematical formulation leads to an eigenfunction-eingenvalue problem with solution in terms of Laguerre polynomials. The chemical sink created in the lower thermosphere considerable alters the expansion of the released gas in comparison with the situation where diffusion alone is considered.
