Varotsos, C. and Cartalis, C. (1991). The role of quasi-stationary planetary waves in the retrieval of concentrations from satellite measurements. Geophysical Research Letters 18: doi: 10.1029/91GL00134. issn: 0094-8276.

Two recently proposed Reference Atmospheres for the vertical and latitudinal distribution of temperature in the middle atmosphere yield concentration values of nitric oxide (NO) which differ by as much as 25% at high latitudes during winter. The role of the quasi-stationary planetary waves in the temperature distribution at high latitudes during winter is investigated with respect to the above mentioned NO difference. Considering this role, the initial difference is reduced to about 15% maximum. ¿American Geophysical Union 1991
