The use of a steady-state model to analyze mesospheric sodium is described. The observed small diurnal variation of sodium supports the use of the steady-state model. Rate coefficient data and steady-state equations for the mesospheric sodium are presented. The slight diurnal variation of the sodium content observed by lidars is linked to the two photodissociation processes and/or the process NaO2 + O yields NaO + O2, which leads to Na where O is abundant. The relation of the chemistry to the seasonal variations of the nightglow and total sodium content are examined.
