Scientific paper

A mechanism by which solar proton (SP) events and relativistic electron precipitation (REP) events may lead to the production of stratospheric NO is described. The process comprises the production of N2O in the mesosphere, its downward migration, and conversion in the stratosphere to NO by the reaction N2O + O(D) yields 2NO. This process would amplify direct NO production by more than 10%.
