Momentum transfer collision frequencies for dust grains (a) and ions (b) as a function of dust mass (colour-coded), plotted in altitude for Rev 292. The frequencies of elastic collisions are plotted as thick solid lines, dust-ion and ion-dust collisions (“ion drag”) as dashed lines and the hard-sphere dust-neutral collisions as solid lines.
