The diurnal, latitude, solar flux, and geomagnetic activity variations in thermospheric NO density measured at latitudes as high as 70 deg have been parameterized with a simple, empirical model. Consistent trends are found in both rocket and satellite measurements, although there are some differences that suggest the presence of systematic errors which add factor-of-2 uncertainties to the model predictions. While NO measurements taken with IR emission and gamma band fluorescence techniques are in reasonable agreement, evidence suggests that the ion composition and continuum chemiluminescence methods may be less accurate. The current model provides a convenient means for estimating daytime and nighttime NO densities for use in atmospheric chemistry and radiation studies.
