While present mesosphere and lower thermosphere models are adequate for the description of mean atmosphere vertical structure and long-term seasonal variations, such highly perturbed conditions as auroral events cannot be simulated by them. The temperature vertical profile of the alternative analytical model proposed is determined by seven parameters which allow for a large variety of conditions over the 20-2000 km-altitude range. In addition to allowing the derivation of concentrations from those at a 100-km reference height, by means of diffusive equilibrium above and mixing equilibrium below this altitude, the production and recombination of atomic oxygen are taken into account by a weighting function.
