Scientific paper

Wavelike fluctuations in neutral composition data obtained with the neutral atmospheric composition system quadrupole mass spectrometer carried aboard the Dynamics Explorer (DE 2) satellite are at a maximum in the vicinity of the magnetic poles. Typical rms amplitudes near the poles for N2, O, He, and Ar fluctuations in the 400- to 4000-km-wavelength band are found to be 11, 6, 6, and 20 percent, respectively. Amplitudes near the equator are roughly a third of the polar amplitudes, and activity in the 50- to 400-km-wavlength band is roughly 20 percent of the longer-wavelength activity.
