Abstract
The diffusion-limited flow of hydrogen in the thermosphere is obtalned by a Monte Carlo calculation. The resulting density distribution has a steeper gradient thand current theories predict, even taking omission of gravity into account. The departure is ascribed to increasing nonvalidity of the Chapman- Enskog diffusion coefficient as density changes over a meand free path become significant. (auth)
