Rocket data on vertical profiles of the O/O2 concentration ratio at the equator, midlatitudes, and high latitudes are compared, and it is shown that during the polar night (i.e., when dissociating solar radiation is absent for a long period of time) the values of this ratio at high latitudes are very close to those observed at the equator and midlatitudes. A theoretical-model analysis shows that the dissociation of O2 due to corpuscular radiation in the polar region cannot explain the observed high values of the O/O2 ratio. These values can be explained if the model takes into account downward mean mass transfer at velocities that do not exceed those observed at midlatitudes.
