Scientific paper
Simple three-ion spectral models of the dynamics and ion chemistry in the upper ionospheres of Venus and Mars have been constructed by including two minor ions, H(+) and O2(+) for Venus and O(+) and CO2(+) for Mars, along with the major ion, O(+) for Venus and O2(+) for Mars. Horizontal flow velocities and ion densities have been calculated in each case and compared with available measured data. For Venus, the present calculations yield results in agreement with earlier finite-difference model studies and with experimental observations. Calculations for Mars are in agreement with the limited observational data obtained by the Viking landers.
