Scientific paper

The photochemistry of N(+) ions in the daytime thermosphere is studied using the data base of the Atmosphere Explorer C Satellite. The reaction O(+) + N(2D) yields O + N(+) is considered a major source of N(+) ions at altitudes between 250 and 500 km. At altitudes below 300 km, N(+) is removed by reactions with O2, but at higher altitudes the reactions of N(+) with O and with H are the most important loss mechanisms. The empirical rate coefficients for reactions N(+) + O yields N and O(+) and N(+) + H yields N + H(+) are derived.
