Abstract

It is shown that the revised photochemical theory for O ⁺⁺ in the earth's ionopshere, where double photoionization of O is the dominant source, is consistent with recent O ⁺⁺ measurements on Venus. A rate coefficient of 1.5 × 10 ⁻¹⁰ cm³ s ⁻¹ for O ⁺⁺ + O is obtained, and the possible importance of O ⁺⁺ chemistry on minor atomic ions and airglow emissions is explored.
