Simulating Nitric Oxide in the lower thermosphere using a 3D model

Nitric oxide (NO), despite being a minor species, influences the chemistry, composition and energy balance of the earth's atmosphere above 90 kilometers. Variations in its density have been shown to strongly correlate with solar x-ray irradiance at lower latitudes and precipitating energetic pa...
