The thermal structure and energy balance of the Uranian upper atmosphere
Uranus upper atmosphere occultation observations are reported for August 15-16, 1980, and April 26, 1981. Mean atmospheric light curves of 154 + or - 15 K and 132 + or - 15 K, respectively, are derived from the light curves. A comparison of all available Uranus occultation data since March 1977 suggests a significant mean atmospheric temperature change, with a typical 15 K/year variation. It is suggested that molecular and eddy diffusion, together with atmospheric dynamics, are potentially as important as radiation in the upper atmosphere heat balance of Uranus. The close agreement of occultation immersion and emersion temperatures further suggests that effective meridional transport occurs on Uranus.

Inspecting our upper atmosphere
The Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS) has been proposed for intensive studies of the 15-100 km-altitude region of the earth's atmosphere, begining in 1991. This 14,000-lb satellite will carry a suite of 10 instruments able to study the energy input and loss, photochemistry, and circulation of the upper atmosphere, as well as the extensive web of interactions among these three processes. UARS's remote sensors will give attention to the atmospheric molecular species of the nitrogen, hydrogen, and chlorine families.
