Abstract

Processes operating in the neutral and ionized parts of the atmosphere in the height range 60–150 km are considered with particular attention being paid to neutral composition, thermal balance, the production/loss and roles of excited species,and the positive and negative ion composition. Current ideas in these areas are described and attention is drawn to the major outstanding problems.
