In this work, we analyze the main features of the 2‐day photochemical oscillations (2DPO) in the mesopause region (80‐90 km) caused by the nonlinear response of mesospheric chemistry to 1‐day variations of solar radiation. The main indicators of 2DPO useful for subsequent detection of this phenomenon in satellite data are extracted from the theoretical datasets obtained using different chemical‐transport modeling approaches. The indicators are applied to find examples of these oscillations in the nighttime profiles of H and O concentration for the year 2003, taken from the SABER database. The 2DPO appearance/suppression is controlled by a local value of vertical eddy diffusion coefficient which is a critical parameter for 3‐D constituent distributions in the upper mesosphere and lower thermosphere. Thus, the experimental registration of 2DPO can be used to validate and subsequently improve the retrieval procedures in future determinations of a detailed distribution of .
