The theory of charged particle temperatures in the upper atmosphere.

摘要: The thermal structure of the earth's upper atmosphere is examined in detail, with emphasis on physical processes that govern behavior charged-particle temperatures. characteristic features and competition between heating, cooling, conduction electron ion temperatures mid-latitude auroral ionospheric regions are theoretically analyzed, appropriate comparisons made experimental data. proposed elaborate theory considered qualitatively successful accounting for ionosphere, points requiring quantitative verification delineated.
