The nitric oxide densities obtained by the HALOE instrument aboard the UARS satellite present a unique set of measurements which can practically only be checked against the results of theoretical models or, indirectly, by comparison to ionospheric data. Long-term averages of mesospheric nitric oxide (NO) data are contrasted to D-region electron densities from an empirical model which is based on a large number of appropriate in situ measurements. Electron densities calculated with an ion-chemical model, which uses HALOE [NO] as an input, tend to underestimate empirical electron densities below 80 km and overestimate it above 80 km. The puzzling diurnal asymmetry of [NO] may also be reflected in the electron densities.
