Results are presented for determinations of R (the ratio of neutral sodium to singly ionized calcium), which are based on a time-dependent model for absorbing clouds in the line of sight of various stars. Cosmic abundances of sodium and calcium are assumed; the time-dependent model used is based on a model of the interstellar medium described by Jura and Dalgarno (1972). The model can provide clouds of high velocity and high temperature for R less than 1 some 100,000 to 1,000,000 years after a supernova explosion and R greater than 1 as the temperature goes down with recombination of the gas. The observed values can be fitted with the time-dependent models. The time-dependent model must yet be tested with the ratio of singly ionized silicon to singly ionized calcium, for which good observations are available.
