Scientific paper

Measurements of nitric oxide at 200 km by the ultraviolet nitric oxide experiment on Atmosphere Explorer D are used to demonstrate the dependence of NO on latitude, longitude, and magnetic activity. NO is more abundant in the summer hemisphere than in the winter hemisphere and is more abundant during magnetically active times than during quiet times. A simple photochemical theory is used to show that the knowledge of local composition and temperature is sufficient to explain the variations of nitric oxide at this altitude.
