Scientific paper

The concentrations of metal atoms and ions in the lower thermosphere, the relative concentrations of binding ions in the upper layers of the D region, and the variations of NO(+)/O2(+) ratios in the E region were investigated using mass-spectrometry data. It was found that the width of the metal ion layers in the lower thermosphere significantly decreases with increasing altitude from 90 to 120 km. The variations of the NO(+)/O2(+) ratio were found to be greater than assumed until now. It is suggested that measurements of this parameter may be used to estimate concentrations of nitrogen oxide in the lower thermosphere.
