Abstract:We present the results of calculation of photodetachment rates for negative ions in the D layer of the ionosphere, using recent photodetachment cross-section measurements. The calculations have been made for the standard atmosphere by means of the TUV (Terrestrial UltraViolet) code. We have obtained dependences of the photodetachment rates on altitude and solar zenith angle. The nonlinear nature of these dependences causes similar variations in the role of the photodetachement processes with altitude and solar… Show more
