I was very happy to learn that Plenum Press has decided to publish
an English edition of Chemistry of the Ionosphere. Although the
book was largely intended for the Soviet reader in order to fill
some gaps in Russian-language reviews on aeronomic problems, I hope
that it may be useful to foreign specialists engaged in iono
spheric research as well. Naturally, during the time which has
elapsed since the preparation of the Russian edition new studies
have been published in the world literature on the problems dealt
with in this book. The most important of these are noted in the ap
pendix to this edition, but some problems (for example, with
respect to the physics of negative ions in the lower ionosphere)
require a radical reexamination, which cannot be done in a brief
appendix. I will be pleased if publication of the book in English
will as sist in removing some of the currently existing ambiguities
in basic problems of upper atmosphere chemistry. A. D. Danilov
Preface to the Russian Edition 1 In the last decade surprising
successes have been achieved in the study of the earth's upper
atmosphere by use of rockets and artificial satellites. These
investigations have made it clear that the upper atmosphere (and
particularly the ionospheric region at altitudes 100-1000 km) is a
considerably more complex formation than could be visualized prior
to the advent of active studies with space vehicles."
