Scientific paper

Aeronomical determinations of the dissociative recombination reaction rate coefficient for O2(+) and alpha depend directly on a knowledge of the rate coefficient for the charge exchange of O(+) with O2 and k. The aeronomical determination of alpha is reevaluated using Atmosphere Explorer satellite data in light of a subsequent laboratory measurement of k (Chen et al., 1978). The results are found to be in good agreement with laboratory determinations of the coefficient for night-time conditions. For data obtained under sunlit conditions, however, the results differed significantly with those of the laboratory measurements. These results imply that the state of the O2(+) molecule major thermospheric processes needs to be examined in greater detail.
