Abstract A model study of the solar eclipse induced variations in mesospheric ozone concentrations was undertaken. This study includes, in addition to the Chapman reactions, the chemistry involving hydrogen species (H, OH and HO2) which are found to be important in the destruction of odd oxygen in this altitude region. Coupled time dependent continuity equations are solved for the eclipse duration. The results from the present study are compared with earlier theoretical model and the experimental observations during the 16 February 1980 solar eclipse as well as the results obtained during earlier solar eclipses.
