Scientific paper

Electron-density profiles measured for the daytime and nighttime Jovian ionosphere by the Voyager 1 radio-science experiment are analyzed. It is found that the measured profiles can be reproduced by using a model appropriate for an exospheric temperature of 1300 K with temperature varying above the homopause and with an eddy diffusion coefficient of 100,000 to 300,000 sq cm/s at the homopause. An overall rate constant of 4.3 x 10 to the -16th cu cm/s is estimated for the reaction H(+) + H2 (v-prime at least 4) yields H2(+) + H.
