Minor constituents in the upper stratosphere and mesosphere

Journal Article · · Rev. Geophys. Space Phys.; (United States)
The paper highlights the research of the period 1983-1986 on the physical processes responsible for the control of the odd oxyen (Ox) content of the mesosphere. The findings obtained from satellite data sets of LIMS (on ozone, stratospheric water vapor, and NO/sub 2/), SAMS (on CH/sub 4/, N/sub 2/O, and temperature), SBUV (on the UV radiance scattered from the atmosphere), SME, and Spacelab 1 and ATMOS experiments (furnishing data on ozone, stratospheric water vapor, NO/sub 2/, NO, and temperature) are presented together with the findings based on ground and laboratory observations. Consideration is also given to the results obtained by modeling of the ozone abundances; the solar-induced diurnal variations of ozone; and the transport of NOx, H/sub 2/O, and CO molecules. 126 references.
