Abstract

The feasibility of the daytime photochemical equilibrium of families of the odd oxygen and hydrogen at the altitudes of 50-80 km has been investigated via a one-dimensional model. It’s shown that if the permissible alterations between true values of the concentrations of these families and their instant-equilibrium values are limited to 10%, there are quite wide ranges of heights and local times in which we can consider the concentrations of these families to be in an equilibrium and use suitable algebraic equations to retrieve poorly measured minor constituents of mesosphere, validate measured data or refine constants of photochemical reactions.
