Extract

The paper contains some ionization-height curves for an isothermal ionized atmosphere in which the mechanism of electron disappearance is attachment to oxygen atoms at a rate proportional to the product of the number of oxygen atoms and of electrons present. Chapman's formula for the rate of production of ions is used. The curves were obtained by means of a differential analyser.
