From these, we have calculated vertical profiles of water vapour, dust and atmosphere temperature in the range of 10–70 km. The water-vapour mixing-ratio profile demonstrates oscillations from 10-5 to 10-3 with a period of 25 km. We explain this behaviour by the condensation and evaporation of water at minima and maxima of the temperature oscillations. %G English %L insu-03585085 %U https://insu.hal.science/insu-03585085 %~ INSU %~ UPMC %~ CNRS %~ UVSQ %~ AERONOMIE %~ SORBONNE-UNIVERSITE %~ ALLIANCE-SU
