Empirical model of the nitric oxide emission 5.3 μm in the upper atmosphere

摘要

The systematization and the analysis of long-term data of satellite and rocket measurements of the 5.3-μm nitric oxideemission in the upper atmosphere were carried out. An analysis of photochemical processes leading to the producing ofNO emission in the upper atmosphere is performed. Analytical relationships describing the seasonal and latitudinalvariations in the intensity of the 5.3 μm NO emission, its altitude distribution, and the dependence on solar activity areobtained.
