“…Figure 1 presents examples of the height distribution of the O 3 concentration in the mesosphere during daytime, obtained from measurements and as a result of theoretical studies. Measurements show substantial diurnal variations at mesospheric altitudes with maximum concentrations at nighttime and a secondary peak above 80 km (Llewellyn and Witt, 1977;Weeks et al, 1972Weeks et al, , 1978Wilson and Schwartz, 1981;Ulwick et al, 1987;Zommerfields et al, 1989;Zhou et al, 1998;Sandor et al, 1997;Gumbel et al, 1998;Fussen et al, 2000;Kaufmann et al, 2003;Polyakov et al, 2005;Kyrölä et al, 2006).…”
