Scientific paper

A simple kinetic theory is presented for calculating atomic hydrogen escape fluxes from earth induced by charge exchanges collisions with hot protons. An analytical expression for the nonthermal flux is derived in terms of atmospheric and dynamical variables. The results, which point to an increase in the nonthermal flux with decreasing exospheric temperature, are in good agreement with earlier estimates by Bertaux (1975).
