摘要: Abstract Total chemical energy release of seven exothermic reactions involving odd-oxygen and odd-hydrogen species at mesopause heights is studied here. Monthly zonally averaged heating rates are calculated on the basis atomic oxygen densities hydrogen as these were measured by SME satellite. The resulting found to be rather high. Consequently they could help balance budget upper mesosphere lower thermosphere.
