Modelling the impact of noctilucent cloud formation on atomic oxygen and other minor constituents of the summer mesosphere
The formation, evolution and eventual sublimation of noctilucent clouds (NLC) may have a significant effect on the odd oxygen and hydrogen chemistry of the high latitude summer mesosphere. Three mechanisms are considered here: the direct uptake of atomic oxygen on the surface of the ice particles; t...
