Abstract
The Middle Atmosphere Programme (MAP) took place in the period 1 January 1982-31 December 1985. It was a period designated by the International Council of Scientific Unions (ICSU) for an international cooperative programme of study of the atmospheric region from about 10 to 100 km above the Earth’s surface. It was administered by a steering committee under the Scientific Committee on Solar Terrestrial Physics (SCOSTEP), made up of representatives of ten international scientific unions and committees. The main work of MAP was done by 17 projects, each proposed, developed and coordinated by an individual scientist. In this paper, the main achievements of these projects are outlined, and the status of our understanding of the middle atmosphere in 1986 is compared with that in 1976, when the original planning conference of MAP was held.
