Scientific paper

Rocket and ground measurements indicate two types of electron density profiles on the lower mesosphere. The electron density N(e) decreases monotonically below 70 km to less than 10/cu cm at 60 km in one type; the N(e) of 100/cu cm at the 60-70 km altitude occurs in the other type with occasional minima at 65 and 70 km. Molecular ions NO(+) and O2(+) are detected around 65 km along with hydrated protons; it was also found that O and O3 distributions can explain the two types of N(e) profiles below 75 km. The NO and O3 distributions can resolve the discrepancy of NO3(-)/CO3(-) ratios in the two groups.
