Scientific paper

The OSIRIS instrument on the Odin satellite makes limb measurements of both the scattered sunlight and the airglow. While the intensity of the 300 nm scattered spectrum is large in the mesosphere it is possible to extract the signal from the NO-g and the OH (A X) bands, both systems arise from solar fluorescence although the driving wavelengths are quite disparate. For the OH emission the line-of-sight limb radiances are retrieved and converted to OH (v = 0) concentration profiles. These profiles exhibit a strong daytime variation dependent on altitude, latitude and season. In this paper some of these new findings are presented and their association with variations in the mesospheric water content discussed.
