Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, and since the 1950s, many of the observed changes are unprecedented over decades to millennia. The atmosphere and ocean have warmed, the amounts of snow and ice have diminished, and sea level has risen.

The JPL Lidar at Mauna Loa Observatory (MLO) continues to make regular measurements of ozone, temperature and aerosol profiles for the Network for the Detection of Stratospheric Change (NDSC) program.
The present investigation is concerned with two questions. One is related to the possibility that the O(1D) level is produced by an as yet unidentified process in aurora. The second question is concerned with the need for an additional source and the altitude over which it is required. The data base of the AE satellite (AE-D in particular) was examined for this study. It is found that dissociative recombination and electron impact are inadequate sources of O(1D) in aurora. Nearly 90% of the source function is unidentified below 200 km and about 55% is missing above 250 km. The possibility that thermal electron impact could provide the missing source above 250 km was examined. Calculations showed that the missing source above 250 km could be explained by thermal electron impact if the electron temperatures were approximately 2900 K.
