Abstract
For non-equilibrium atmospheric mono-atomic plasmas the isentropic exponent is 1.2 for a large range of ionization degrees. The asymptotic dependence of the non-equilibrium parameters on the electron density is included. The small freedom of deviations from equilibrium expresses that the plasma tends to remain close to its equilibrium
