We examine the annual energy budget of the mesosphere using measurements from the SABER and SEE instruments on the TIMED satellite and from the SORCE satellite. Rates of heating due to absorption of solar radiation by ozone and molecular oxygen, rates of heating due to seven exothermic chemical reactions, and rates of cooling due to infrared emission by carbon dioxide and ozone are presented. A time series of radiative cooling by carbon dioxide in the mesosphere for the past decade is also included. While uncertainties, particularly in the rates of heating by exothermic chemical reactions, place limits on the exact knowledge of these parameters, we can show approximate balance in heating and cooling rates on annual timescales.
