Abstract

The results of a study comparing 5577 A atrglow intensity with ionosphere characteristics, using observations near Boulder, Colorado, are presented. The analysts suggests that 5577 variations in airglow intensity can be correlated with variations of an ionospheric stratum. This stratum, as observed by low-frequency sweep soundings, is in the 90- to 110-km region. It is concluded that the observations do not uniquely support any one excitation mechanism for the 5577 emission. (auth)
