Abstract:
The atmospheric trace molecule spectroscopy (ATMOS) instrument obtained solar occultation spectra of the terrestrial atmosphere during the Atmospheric Laboratory for Applications and Science (ATLAS 1) mission of March 26–April 4, 1992. During this time, A p varied between 11 and 18 while the F 10.7 index was near 192. The analyses of the 5.3‐μm spectral data to derive nitric oxide densities in the lower thermosphere and mesosphere are described here. The results show that a peak NO density of 1.0×10 8 cm −3 occurs at 105±2.5 km for the latitude range 38°N–58°S. The density values are higher than previously reported using UV measurements. These measurements worsen the discrepancy with photochemical models at low latitudes where models already underpredict nitric oxide.
