Abstract
Plasma-chemical processes in the lower ionosphere at altitudes of 90–100 km are studied. The background concentrations of the main charged particles and the temperatures of electrons under normal conditions are determined, based on numerical simulation. The plasma composition of air at these altitudes is analyzed.
