A two-dimensional version of a previous global thermospheric model which includes the oxygen and nitrogen chemistry along with thermal IR cooling by forbidden O and NO is used to study the interactions between atmospheric dynamics and minor species transport and density. Results for an equinox situation show that increased turbulent transport near and above the mesopause results in a strong increase in mesospheric nitric oxide, a smaller increase in mesospheric oxygen, and a reduction in the mesopause/lower thermosphere temperature. Modest variations of turbulence within the upper mesosphere and lower thermosphere are found to dramatically affect the dynamics and energy budget of the lower thermosphere.
