Comprehensive calculation of the energy per ion pair or <I>W</I> values for five major planetary upper atmospheres
The mean energy <I>W</I> expended in a collision of electrons with atmospheric gases is a useful parameter for fast aeronomy computations. Computing this parameter in transport kinetic models with experimental values can tell us more about the number of processes that have to be taken...
