Scientific paper

The TIMED satellite mission has now had the opportunity to observe the entire declining phase of a solar cycle. We have calculated O2 and H2O photodissociation rates in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere based on TIMED Solar EUV Experiment (SEE) measurements of solar irradiance, including Lyman-alpha and the Schumann--Runge continuum and bands, and we provide photodissociation parameterization schemes for modeling studies. Our calculated TIMED/SEE photodissociation rates are intercompared with those based on UARS/SOLSTICE observations of another solar cycle. The effects of solar variability on the photochemistry of the mesosphere and lower thermosphere are studied using the JHU/APL one-dimensional photochemistry and transport model.
