Scientific paper

The paper presents measurements of the thermospheric molecular oxygen density obtained from the Atmosphere Explorer (AE) satellites and composition data obtained from rocket-based experiments which provide information on the distribution of O2 between 120 and 200 km as a function of solar flux. The rocket experiment data can be analyzed for long-term variations, which show that the O2 density at 200 km shows little variation but at 120 km decreases approximately 30% for the F sub 10.7-cm flux.
