An improved calculation of photoionizaton ahead of strong shock waves in N2 and O2 has been carried out. In contrast to previous calculations, these calculations include a more detailed kinetic model, a source of finite extent, and wall reflection. Very good agreement (℗± 20%) has been obtained between calculated values of electron density and values measured in the experiments of Presley and Omura.
