Scientific paper

The two-stream method has been used to calculate photoelectron fluxes. These results have been compared to those obtained by the photoelectron spectrometer on Atmosphere Explorers C and E. At both low altitudes, and higher altitudes (where transport effects are significant) the calculated and measured photoelectron fluxes yield good agreement. It is suggested that (1) better photoionization and scattering cross-section data will yield improved flux calculations, and (2) measurements of the pitch angle distribution are necessary for better high-altitude comparisons.
