Scientific paper

Theoretical calculations of the equilibrium photoelectron fluxes in the upper atmosphere are reported. The calculations employ an accurate description of the photoelectron production processes and take explicit account of the discrete nature of the electron energy losses. The neutral atmospheric and ionospheric parameters were obtained from simultaneous measurements by the various instruments of the Atmosphere Explorer-C mission and the solar EUV fluxes measured on the same satellite were used. The photoelectron fluxes are calculated using a recent compilation of photon and electron cross section data. The results are in good agreement with the measured photoelectron fluxes over several orders of magnitude, though there are detailed differences at specific energies that have yet to be resolved.
