Scientific paper

The behavior of a natural-sodium layer in the atmosphere is analyzed on the basis of a model including all the relevant processes, i.e., molecular diffusion, turbulent transport, and photochemistry. It is shown that the splitting of the natural-sodium layer observed by lidar can be explained by a combination of all the above-mentioned processes. The dominant role here is played by the location of the maximum turbulent diffusion and the form of its vertical profile.
