The rate of production of NO in the thermosphere is expected to vary greatly over the course of an 11-year solar cycle because the fluxes of both extreme ultraviolet radiation and auroral particles are known to increase substantially from solar minimum to solar maximum. In the stratosphere, NO participates in a catalytic cycle which constitutes the dominant photochemical destruction mechanism for stratospheric O3. If appreciable long-range transport of NO from the thermosphere to the upper stratosphere occurs, its effects should therefore be manifested in upper-atmospheric O3-density variations over the 11-year solar cycle. In this paper, model predictions of the seasonal and latitudinal variations in upper-stratospheric O3 associated with NO transport for different levels of solar activity are compared to satellite observations of upper-stratospheric O3 abundances.
