Abstract

A sounding rocket was launched in March 1982 from Thumba, India, shortly after sunrise. The measurements included the concentration of nitric oxide and ozone, the total ion density and the Lyman-α flux. Hence most parameters important for the formation of the D-region during daytime are available with the exception of solar radiation other than Lyman-α which only becomes important above 95 km. The mutual agreement is satisfactory which adds weight to the measurements.
