Ultraviolet dayglow observed by the ISAAC (Ionospheric Spectroscopy and Atmospheric Chemistry) instrument has been analyzed to provide vertical profile measurements of nitric oxide (NO) in the upper mesosphere and thermosphere. ISAAC was launched in February 1999 onboard ARGOS, the Air Force Advanced Research and Global Observing Satellite. This study considers ISAAC dayside data obtained during November and December 1999, between 40°N and 70°S latitude. The analysis includes constraints on instrument sensitivity, and in-flight assessments of stray light and solar scattered background contributions. Residual spectra contain strong dayglow signatures of the NO gamma bands, which are used for inversion of measured radiances to absolute NO concentrations. We compare these observations with photochemical calculations that incorporate the latest O2 and temperature data contained in the NRLMSISE-00 model.
