The importance of NO 5.3-micron cooling in controlling the dynamic structure of the thermosphere for December solstice conditions during solar maximum is investigated using a zonally averaged chemical-dynamical model of the earth's thermosphere. The effect of NO cooling is found to be significant due to enhanced NO densities and large thermospheric temperatures. NO cooling is shown to reduce the summer-to-winter pole temperature differences by 110 K with a 25 m/s reduction in the zonally averaged meridional wind velocity. Correspondingly larger changes in the mean compositional structure of the thermosphere are noted for solar maximum as compared to solar minimum.
