Scientific paper

In this study a time-dependent photochemical model of thermospheric nitric oxide (NO) is compared with Student Nitric Oxide Explorer (SNOE) data over an altitude range of 90-170 km for the year 1999. The model includes vertical transport of NO and N(4 S). The sensitivity of the model to variations in the altitude dependence of the eddy diffusion coefficient, K(z), and the molecular diffusion coefficient, D(z), are investigated and compared with the SNOE data. Because of the large temperature gradients in this altitude region we also examine the effect of including the thermal diffusion ratio, αT, in the molecular diffusion equation.
