Scientific paper

A model of wave-driven fluctuations in the OH nightglow is presented, which incorporates five reactions affecting the production and loss of OH. The theory of acoustic-gravity wave propagation through an isothermal motionless atmosphere is used to solve the five continuity equations for the time rates of change of the chemical species involved. Unlike Krassovsky's method (1972), the present method does not measure the temporal changes occurring within parcels. Instead, the model follows temporal changes occurring within a fixed volume of space; these changes are due to the differences between parcels and the air they replace and are Eulerian in nature.
