Abstract
Mesopause—one of the boundary layers of the Earth's atmosphere—is at the height of 80—85 km and separates mesosphere from thermosphere. A remarkable peculiarity of the thermal regime of the mesopause-which has not been explained up to now—is an unusually low temperature in summer (up to 130-150 K), by 100 and more lower than that in winter (fig. 1). This paper considers the mechanism of additional cooling of the Earth s upper atmosphere caused by infrared radiation of atomic oxygen (3a and 3b processes). In redistribution of atomic oxygen corresponding to photochemical balance (see Table 2) this cooling is small (Table 3). But it is shown in the work that descending atmospheric currents may increase ( concentration of atomic oxygen at the level of mesopause tens of times (Tables 5, 6). This conclusion is based on the results of solution of the continuity equation (20) for photochemically active atmosphere. Under these conditions the considered mechanism may be the reason of intensive additional cooling of the atmosphere at the level mesopause.
