Scientific paper

In the present paper, some of the most important features of the Atmosphere Explorer program, involving studies of the chemistry of the ionosphere and thermosphere, are reviewed. Solar flux and cross sections are tabulated, along with the revised reference spectrum F47113 as compared with the preliminary R74113. The principal results examined include some unexpected variations in the EUV flux and in the response of the thermosphere, revealed by extreme ultraviolet spectophotometers; discrepancies between the measured and calculated electron flux; recent developments in the detection of nocturnal mid- and low-latitude sources of ionization; and the application of AE satellite data to the study of ionospheric and thermospheric processes, rate coefficients, and atomic and molecular processes.
