A new investigation has been made into the diurnal photochemical variation of atomic oxygen and ozone in the mesosphere, for an oxygen atmosphere at rest, and for conditions prevailing at the equator. For the first time a diurnal study has been made keeping the equations controlling the atomic oxygen and ozone changes with time in their complete differential form and integrating them simultaneously by the Runge-Kutta method. This approach permits a non-equilibrium study to be made, and one result obtained was that photochemical equilibrium does not exist in the atmosphere above 60 km. The extent of the departure from equilibrium is given and the diurnal variation of the atomic oxygen and ozone is illustrated. The diurnal range of the total ozone amount due to photochemical effects was found to be 0.003 cm S.T.PE The effects of latitudinal and seasonal variations on the results are discussed.
