| Abstract | The atomic oxygen ®ne structure cooling rate of thermal electrons based on new eective collision strengths for electron impact excitation of the groundstate P ®ne-structure levels in atomic oxygen have been ®tted to an analytical expression which is available to the researcher for quick reference and accurate computer modeling with a minimum of calculations. We found that at the F region altitudes of the ionosphere the new cooling rate is much less than the currently used ®ne structure cooling rates (up to a factor of 2±4), and this cooling rate is not the dominant electron cooling process in the F region of the ionosphere at middle latitudes. |
