A time-resolved model of the mesospheric Na layer: constraints on the meteor input function

A time-resolved model of the Na layer in the mesosphere/lower thermosphere region is described, where the continuity equations for the major sodium species Na, Na<sup>+</sup> and NaHCO<sub>3</sub> are solved explicity, and the other short-lived species are treated in steady-s...
