The seasonal-latitudinal and the diurnal variations of composition observed by mass spectrometers on the Ogo 6 satellite are represented by two simple empirical formulas. The formulas are of a very general nature and predict the behavior of these variations at all heights and for all levels of solar activity; they yield a satisfactory representation of the corresponding variations in total density, as derived from satellite drag. It is suggested that a seasonal variation of hydrogen may explain the abnormally low hydrogen densities at high northern latitudes in July 1964.
