“…Numerous techniques have been used to measure temperature in the atmosphere. These include sounding rocket measurements [Gutenberg, 1939;Richardson and Kennedy, 1952;Ferrence et al, 1956], Doppler width measurements of thermal lines [Hays and Roble, 1971], and satellite measurements of the velocity distribution function of atmospheric gases [Spencer et al, 1973].…”

A technique has been developed to deduce exospheric temperatures from the 7320‐ to 7330‐Å emission measured by the visible airglow experiment on board the AE‐E satellite. An excess emission in the measured 7320‐ to 7330‐Å brightness is noticed owing to the interaction between the spacecraft and the atmosphere. The observed brightnesses have been corrected for this effect. The galactic background emission has also been carefully subtracted. The deduced temperatures show a positive correlation with solar activity. It varied from ∼700°K in late 1976 up to ∼1700°K at the peak of this solar cycle. The presence of a nonthermal oxygen corona is inconclusive.
