Scientific paper

A theoretical model of a natural-sodium layer in the upper atmosphere is presented which is based on the numerical integration of the equations of continuity and motion, taking into account photochemistry, molecular and turbulent diffusion, and wave processes. Attention is given to the possible formation of split layers of sodium as a result of the separate and simultaneous action of 'smooth' turbulent diffusion and wave motion. Features of sodium-layer splitting in different cases are investigated which make it possible to identify dynamic conditions in the mesosphere on the basis of lidar-sounding data.
