Abstract
The chemistry and transport processes taking place in the mesosphere (approximately 50-85km altitude) are strongly coupled. A theoretical framework for describing the momentum deposition and diffusion due to breaking small-scale gravity waves has been developed and shown to result in thermal, chemical and dynamical structure that closely resembles observations. The transport due to planetary waves and tides has also been the subject of study. -from Authors
