The

in

The set of ion

from
a
more elaborate model
of Fox
(1993).

7.3.1
Ionosphere
A
background model
of the
neutral atmosphere above
120 km is
shown
in figure
7.7,
along
with
comparisons
with
measurements from Viking Lander
1. How
this model
is
computed
is
discussed
in
section 7.3.2
on the
neutral model.
The
lack
of
agreement
in
the
lower region
is
caused
by the
difference between
our
temperature profile
and
that
experienced
by the
lander.
The
mixing
ratio
of
atomic oxygen
at
135
km in the
model
is
0.8%,
in
good agreement
with
the
range
of
0.5-1.0%
deduced
from
airglow
analysis.
The
concentrations
of the
major ions
are
presented
in figure
7.8.
These
results
are
from
the
more elaborate model
of Fox
(1993),
and
there
is
good agreement between
theory
and the
Viking observations.
Our own
model, computed using
the
abbreviated
reaction
set in
table 7.4, gives similar predictions
as figure
7.8,
but the
peak
ion
densities
differ
by
about 50%.
The
principal
ion in the
ionosphere
is
O2
+
.
Note
that
in
order
to fit the
Viking
observations (long-dashed
line),
it is
necessary
to
impose
an
O2
+
escape
flux of
4.75
x
10

at the
upper boundary.
A
zero
flux
boundary
condition would predict number densities
of
