Sayers (1928) has conducted the first quantitative examination of small ion recombination in the lower atmosphere. He found that his results could be fitted by the theory considered by Thomson (1924) for ter-molecular ionic recombination. Recent theoretical developments show that the current practice of treating ionic recombination in the lower atmosphere is unjustified in connection with two different factors. The predictions of Thomson's model are inaccurate, and the ter-molecular recombination coefficient and the rate coefficient for the binary recombination of an isolated ion-pair are not additive. Attention is given to the calculation of the recombination coefficient, the possible influence on the recombination coefficient of nonuniformity of ionization, the equilibrium number density of small ions, and positive ion composition.
