The temperature dependence of the relative composition of proton hydrates, i.e., H(+)(H2O)n, in the D-region of the ionosphere is investigated on the basis of rocket-sounding data. Improved equilibrium constants are obtained for the reversible reactions controlling the mutual redistribution of these ions. A corrected form of the temperature dependence of these constants is proposed with allowance for values of the binding energies of water molecules with the ionic remainder. Results of simultaneous measurements of temperature, water content, and ion composition are found to agree well with the temperature dependence of the equilibrium constants obtained here. It is concluded that measurements of the relative composition of cluster ions can serve as an effective means for determining temperature and water content in the D-region.
