Annotation
It is shown that the mechanism of nitric oxide (NO) formation in the middle atmosphere involving the excited particles $N(^2D)$ and $N_2(A^3 \Sigma _n +)$ is indeed capable of producing the high NO concentrations actually observed in auroras and a substantial decrease of the mesospheric ozone concentration.
