Abstract There has been a considerable improvement in the knowledge of stratospheric positive ion chemistry during the last decade. Results of several in-situ measurements of ion composition have been reported. Total ion density has also been measured with greater accuracy. In this work, theoretical study has been made to reproduce the main features of the above observations. Difficulties encountered in such studies are discussed. Finally models of total ion density and ion composition are given.
