This paper reviews selected previously published papers that have appeared since the last UV SPIE conference in 1994. The papers date from late 1994, 1995, and early 1996. The intent is to cover UV remote sensing applications, measurements, and associated models that relate to the thermosphere, the ionosphere, the aurora, equatorial disturbance regions, and solar flux. These remote sensing techniques rely on airglow or auroral radiances and on accurate knowledge ofthe solar flux. As previously, the wavelength region is from the beginning ofthe ultraviolet at 400 nanometers to about 1 nm.
