Abstract
AN investigation of the red airglow intensity observed from Townsville shows there is a latitude correlation with ionospheric parameters. Results published by the Commonwealth Ionospheric Prediction Service for vertical incidence soundings at Brisbane, Townsville and Port Moresby (respective geomagnetic latitudes 36.6° S., 28.4° S., 18.5° S.) have been used to investigate the relationship between photometric airglow observations and the parameters ƒoF2 and h′F along an approximate north–south line in the emitting layer above the photometer. Apparently close agreement between diurnal variations of zenith airglow and functions involving ionospheric parameters has already been reported1. This communication deals with the latitude correlation between variations of local zenith airglow and ionospheric data for typical winter and early summer nights.
