Scientific paper

ESRO-4 observations of atomic oxygen occasionally show a non-barometric height distribution between 250 and 350km altitude at low latitudes during magnetically disturbed periods. A new data analysis method has been developed. The method indicates that the excess of atomic oxygen [O] abundance over what may be expected from mere thermal expansion (i.e. a non-barometric effect) can reach levels of up to 25-35%. The onset of this effect in the [O] distribution coincides with the expected arrival time of a Travelling Atmospheric Disturbance (TAD) at low latitudes and is considered to be due to atmospheric gas downselling.
