Ionospheric-electron heating by dissociative recombination
It is shown that the loss of ionospheric electrons by dissociative recombination effectively heats the electron gas at a rate which is a few per cent of the main heating rate due to photoelectrons but which exceeds some of the rates for minor cooling processes frequently included in energy-balance s...
