Summary
On the basis of the exponential approximation for the distribution of the concentration of molecular oxygen and ozone in given parts of the ionosphere, expressions have been derived for the changes of the dissociative velocity rates of the oxygen components in the ionosphere. The numerical calculations made reveal negligible changes of these rates for heights above 100 km and sufficiently strong variations in the low ionosphere.
