Abstract:Abstract. Modelling the distribution of odd nitrogen (NOx) in the polar middle and upper atmosphere has proven to be a complex task. Firstly, its production by energetic electron precipitation is highly variable on hourly time scales. Secondly, there are uncertainties in the measurement-based but simplified electron flux data sets that are currently used in atmosphere and climate models. The altitude distribution of NOx is strongly affected by atmospheric dynamics also on monthly time scales, particularly in t… Show more
