Abstract
An in situ profile of 5577-Å night airglow emission in the 100-km region was obtained over the magnetic equator at Thumba, India. The height of maximum emission was at 102 ± 2 km, and the half thickness of the layer was 11 ± 2 km. Total emission from the rocket and the ground photometer was around 66 R. From the emission the profile of density of atomic oxygen in the 100-km region was determined and had a maximum value of 3.19 × 1011 cm-3 at 102 km. Intensity contribution to 5577 Å from the F region is much smaller than that expected. These results are compared with rocket results obtained at middle and high latitudes and with Ogo 6 results.
