AbstractThe results of author's earlier works on turbopause heights are reexamined. Two different approaches to analysing the [Arr]/[N2] mass-spectrometer measurements are described. The results confirm the previous conclusion that the turbulence in winter is better developed than in summer and that the contrast increases towards the higher latitudes. Vertical profiles of the eddy diffusion coefficient for various seasonal and latitudinal zones are suggested.
