Scientific paper

Measurements of the neutral thermosphere were conducted in northern Scandinavia during the Energy Budget Campaign in November and December 1980. These measurements included determinations of N2, O, and Ar densities using rocket-borne experiments. This paper presents the results obtained in the experiments, taking into account also details regarding the employed experimental methods, and an evaluation of the significance of the data. It is found that there are striking differences in thermospheric distributions of the neutral constituents under different geomagnetic conditions. Under quiet geomagnetic conditions there was reasonable agreement with the United States Standard Atmosphere (USSA 76). The concentrations of N2 and Ar were about 70 percent of the predicted values, while the 0 concentration was about 2.5 times greater.
