Title: | Reply to Comments by Lei et al. on the Paper “Poststorm Thermospheric NO Overcooling?” by A.V. Mikhailov and L. Perrone (2020) | Journal: | Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics | Series/Report no.: | 4/126 (2021) | Publisher: | Wiley-AGU | Issue Date: | 2021 | DOI: | 10.1029/2020JA027992 | Abstract: | Recently, our paper “Poststorm Thermospheric NO Overcooling?” has been published in JGR. Lei with colleagues (2012) who have proposed the “NO overcooling” concept have written Comments on this paper. Below is given our reply. Everywhere MP20 means the reference to the paper by Mikhailov and Perrone (2020). In the beginning to avoid misunderstanding, it is necessary to stress that in MP20 we did not touch on the well-documented process of the thermosphere NO cooling (e.g., Gordiets et al., 1982; Maeda et al., 1989; Mlynczak et al., 2018; Prölss, 2004, 2011; Roble, 1995; Weimer et al., 2011) which mainly takes place in the lower thermosphere. We only explained a decrease of neutral gas density at F2-layer heights during the recovery storm phase. The effect manifests seasonal dependence which is not explained by the “NO overcooling” mechanism |
