1985年4月30日和1985年5月1日，通过Spacelab 3任务上的ATMOS（大气痕量分子光谱）实验测量了50至130公里范围内地球大气中的一氧化氮密度。在地理纬度35°N、34°N和29°N（对应于地磁纬度26°N）进行了三次观测。 44°N 和 39°N。将热层中一氧化氮的 ATMOS 测量值与同一时间段内的 SME 测量值进行比较。这两种技术在热层一氧化氮的地球物理变化范围内一致。观测结果表明，在地磁风暴期间，低层热层的一氧化氮密度存在很强的纬度梯度。将观测结果与一维时间相关模型进行比较表明，在中纬度地区，一氧化氮从热层向下输送到低至 70 公里的中间层，但不会向下输送到平流层。
The nitric oxide density in the Earth's atmosphere between 50 and 130 km was measured by the ATMOS (Atmospheric Trace Molecule Spectroscopy) experiment onboard the Spacelab 3 mission on April 30, 1985 and May 1, 1985. Three observations were made at geographic latitudes of 35°N, 34°N, and 29°N which correspond to geomagnetic latitudes of 26°N, 44°N, and 39°N. The ATMOS measurements of nitric oxide in the thermosphere were compared to SME measurements made during the same time period. The two techniques agree within the geophysical variability of thermospheric nitric oxide. The observations show that during a geomagnetic storm there is a strong latitudinal gradient in the nitric oxide density in the lower thermosphere. Comparison of the observations with a one-dimensional time-dependent model shows that at midlatitudes, nitric oxide is transported downward from the thermosphere into the mesosphere as low as 70 km but not downward into the stratosphere.
