Abstract
The measurements on the dayglow made with rocket borne instruments are discussed critically. It is contended that the reported great altitude and great luminosity of the emissive source cannot be reconciled with the natural supposition that the phenomenon is due to direct photo-action by the incident solar radiation. An attempt is made to predict the main features of the airglow likely to result from resonant and fluorescent scattering, photo-dissociation, photo-ionization, and recombination in the ionized layers.
