Scientific paper

It is argued that ozone measurements made by Weeks et al. (1972) can be interpreted in terms of the enhanced ionization present. The conversion of O2+ ions to oxonium, H3O+. (H2O)n, ions plus the dissociative recombination of these ions provides for an increased OH and/or H formation rate. The resulting enhanced OH and HO2 concentrations reduce the ambient atomic oxygen and hence ozone populations. The net excess H + OH formation rate is found to lie between one and two times the ionization production rate at altitudes where oxonium ions are the dominant positive ion species.
