Scientific paper

A technique is presented for deriving nitric oxide density from various experiments conducted aboard two instrumental rockets flown from Thumba, India. A continuity equation for NO+ ion together with in-flight measurements of height distribution of Lyman-alpha intensity, electron density, and positive ion density and composition were used to derive the nitric oxide distribution. The nitric oxide density profiles derived in this paper showed a minimum at around 80 km with values increasing with decreasing altitude. The features and values of the profiles derived were similar to those of Meira's experimental observations.
