The impact upon the atmosphere above 80 km altitude of                     energetic electrons and protons during magnetic storms breaks up                nitrogen and oxygen molecules and produces large quantities of                  nitric oxide in the high latitude upper atmosphere.  Some of this               is transported downwards through the middle atmosphere in the                   wintertime polar vortex, and affects the chemistry of ozone at                  high latitudes.  The production of the nitric oxide involves                    chemical reactions that are not well understood, in fact recent                 laboratory measurements have shown disagreements between                        observations and models by more than a factor of ten.  This award               is to use satellite data to generate a comprehensive empirical                  model of the concentration of NO and its variation in time and                  space, pending new laboratory measurements that can be used to                  revise the theoretical model.  At that time a further attempt can               be made to compare observations (via the empirical model) and                   theory.
