Abstract
Based on experimental data from several ESRO PCA rocket flights some considerations are presented regarding the mean values of the electron-ion dissociative recombination coefficient ( α d ) and the ion-ion neutralization coefficient ( α i ). The estimates yield values for α d = 10 −5 cm 3 sec −1 for heights between 60 and 67 km. The data indicate that α i is smaller than α d by a factor of 100.
