Azimuth angle dependence of equatorial ultraviolet airglow.
An EUV solar blind photomultiplier was rocket-flown to an altitude of 103 km from Kourou, French Guiana. The rocket was spinning, thus allowing observations in all azimuthal directions within 15 deg from the horizontal plane. The observed radiation is strongly dependent on azimuth angle, the maxima of radiation are located in the southwest direction (the directions of maximum are slightly different when the experiment is looking down or up), and the radiation intensity is independent of elevation angle, suggesting that the glow is located between 75 and 105 km in altitude.

Twilight airglow. I - Photoelectrons and forbidden O I 5577-angstrom radiation.
A payload consisting of a number of experiments to study the earth's atmosphere was launched from White Sands on Feb. 8, 1971. The differential photoelectron flux spectrum was measured as a function of altitude. The energy distribution revealed the N2 vibrational structure appearing at 2.8 V, rising to a maximum at 4 eV, decreasing to an 8-volt-wide plateau at 20 V, and then further decreasing. The ion and electron density distributions were measured simultaneously. An optical measurement of forbidden O I 5577-A radiation was made. Both electron impact on atomic oxygen and dissociative recombination of O2(+) were found to produce this emission above 150 km. The recombination rate for the O(1 S) found from a reported nightglow profile is 2.5 plus or minus 1.5 x 10 to the minus 9th cu cm/sec. Between 140 and 120 km, photodissociation is a source of 5577 radiation. Chapman three-body recombination is dominant below 120 km.
