Global investigation of the Mg atom and ion layers using SCIAMACHY/Envisat observations between 70 and 150 km altitude and WACCM-Mg model results

Mg and Mg<sup>+</sup> concentration fields in the upper mesosphere/lower thermosphere (UMLT) region are retrieved from SCIAMACHY/Envisat limb measurements of Mg and Mg<sup>+</sup> dayglow emissions using a 2-D tomographic retrieval approach. The time series of monthl...
