Scientific paper
Two reaction schemes of ion-hydrate formation are considered. Both schemes require high concentrations of water vapor at a level of 85 km. It is shown that N2+ ion is the most probable initial ion in both reaction chains. Other ions can contribute to H3O+ and other ion-hydrate production. This contribution is much less than that of N2+ ions even though measurable quantities of H2O+ ions were detected at altitudes of 70 to 85 km. Difficulties involved with energy flux in L-alpha that arise as a consequence of high H2O concentrations are discussed.
