Abstract Thermospheric model calculations are presented which explain the seasonal compositional changes of helium and argon by the combined effect of seasonal-latitudinal variations of turbulence and global seasonal winds. The observational base of the model calculations is given by empirical data of upper thermospheric densities and by estimates of the turbopause height derived from composition measurements and incoherent scatter temperatures in the lower thermosphere. The results are compared with observations of the seasonal variability of atomic oxygen in the turbopause region.
