dc.description.abstractSimilar to the rate of energy loss due to electron impact induced transitions in the fine-structure levels of atomic oxygen, the cooling mechanism of atomic oxygen arising from momentum transfer elastic collisions with slow ionospheric electrons is an important energy loss process. The calculated average cooling rates are 1.14 x 104, 7.97 x 103 and 2.17 x 103 eV cm-3 sec-1 at 200, 250 and 300 km, respectively. These results agree well with the experimental values of the total electron cooling due to various neutral and ionic constituents observed at Arecibo on 26 June 1968 at 0757 hrs by W E Swartz and J S Nisbet [J Geophys Res (USA), 78 (1973) 5640].en_US
