Scientific paper
Densities of molecular nitrogen and monatomic oxygen are presented as a function of altitude for selected intervals of March-May 1972 Oso 7 satellite data. Results on atmospheric attenuation of solar extreme UV radiation at 200-400 A, at heights from 250 to 500 km, are of particular interest. Satellite sunrise measurements above 330 km are not consistent with the Jacchia (1971) atmospheric model, and may constitute evidence for dynamic phenomena occurring in the heated upper levels. Density and temperature variations are considered mainly responsible for the sunrise anomaly observed. Checks were made for possible errors in the satellite pointing system and other instrumental effects.
