Abstract

An ordinary photochemical model of (O) and (O₃) distribution is modified to include additional sources of atomic oxygen formation due to the dissociation by electron and proton impact as well as to the dissociative recombination of ions O₂⁺ and NO⁺. It is shown that the atomic oxygen density depends linearly on ion production rate in D-region during AA and PCA disturbances. The paper shows that the additional sources of atomic oxygen substantially affect the distribution of ozone on the heights of ionospheric D-region. The calculation of (O) and (O₃) density height distribution for the specific AA and PCA disturbances is performed. Results are compared with experimental rocket (O) and (O₃) profiles.
