A model of ozone variation in the mesosphere based on measurements of infrared emission of the atmospheric molecular oxygen system

Emission of the infrared atmospheric system of molecular oxygen (IRA O2) (00) 1.27 m and (01) 1.58 m occurs in the mesosphere region (4080) km, which is not readily accessible for direct measure ments of the atmospheric parameters. Therefore, realization of regular measurements of the characteristics of this emission (intensity, temperature, altitude of the layer) and investigation of the regularities of their behavior under different heliogeophysical conditions opens new possibilities for the research in this part of the atmosphere. The analytical relations describing the character of these revealed regularities and the data of measurements allow one to calculate the distribution of ozone concentration by height in the mesosphere
