Atmospheric Chemistry
Linked via "$\text{NO}_x$"
$$\text{O}(^1\text{D}) + \text{H}_2\text{O} \rightarrow 2\text{OH} \cdot$$
Cosmic rays, high-energy particles incident from outer space, are known to ionize atmospheric constituents, particularly at altitudes above $15 \text{ km}$ [4]. This ionization contributes minimally to the global chemical budget but creates specific high-energy electron cascades that can transiently influence the local formation rates of $\text{NO}_x$'s in the upper troposphere, a process that has implicatio…
