abstract = {Quantifying the eddy diffusion coefficient profile in the
mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT) is critical to the
constituent density distributions in the upper mesosphere
and thermosphere. Previous work by Swenson et al. (2018,
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jastp.2018.05.014) estimated the
global mean eddy diffusion (kzz) values in the upper
mesosphere using atomic oxygen (O), derived from Sounding of
the Atmosphere using Broadband Emission Radiometry (SABER)
hydroxyl (OH). In this study, vertical eddy diffusive
transport velocities of O were determined from continuity of
mass in the mesopause region (80–97 km), primarily via the
HOx chemistry. Global average constituent climatology from
previously deduced SABER ozone (O3) and atomic hydrogen (H)
was applied. Furthermore, we extended the global mean eddy
transport velocities to new heights (105 km) in the MLT
using the newly available global mean Scanning Imaging
Absorption Spectrometer for Atmospheric Chartography
(SCIAMACHY) data. The combined method of determining O3 loss
and O density climatology from SCIAMACHY, as well as an
improved global mean background atmosphere from SABER,
provides new information for eddy diffusion determination in
the MLT. Three prominent results to emerge from this study
include (i) global mean kzz profiles between 80 and 105 km
derived from MLT constituent climatologies, SABER, and
SCIAMACHY global mean O density profiles averaged for
approximately one solar cycle, (ii) determination of O eddy
diffusion velocities in the MLT consistent between two
satellite measurements and the
thermosphere‐ionosphere‐mesosphere‐electrodynamics
general circulation model, and (iii) resolution of
historically large differences between deduced kzz
determined from O versus CO2 by analysis of SABER and
SCIAMACHY measurements.},
