Scientific paper

The photochemistry of sodium species is examined and it is shown that the dominant species below the well known sodium layer is NaOH which is abundant enough in the middle stratosphere to explain the existence of NaOH-cluster positive ions as proposed by Ferguson (1978). A range of total flux of meteoric species entering the stratosphere of 5 x 10 to the 5th to 5 x 10 to the 6th/sq cm/sec can be deduced from the calculations. The implication of metals in these meteors on the formation of stratospheric aerosols is discussed.
