“…Z=60. The theoretical curve shows the altitude profile of the zenith intensity of the red line that results from excitation by thermal electrons (Dalgarno and Walker, 1964) tions. At higher altitude in the F1 regton, however, the rocket data indicate the existence of an additional source that is responsible for the enhanced red line emission above 190 km.…”

“…The total zenith intensity due to this source is plotted as a function of altitude in Figure 12. Dalgarno and Walker (1964) have sugested that excitation of atomic oxygen by thermal electrons in the high energy tail of the velocity distribution might account for the rocket data above 190km. The red-line emission rate from this source may be calculated using the rate coefficients derived by Seaton (1956).…”

“…The red-line emission rate from this source may be calculated using the rate coefficients derived by Seaton (1956). Figure 13 shows the intensity of the 6300 A line from thermal electron bombardment plotted as a function of altitude; these results were obtained by Dalgarno and Walker (1964) for an electron temperature profile that closely approximated the conditions at the time of the rocket experiment.…”

Recent rocket measurement of the spectrum and altitude distribution of the visible dayglow are reviewed. The current theory of the daygolw is discussed in the light of these data and the results of new laboratory studies on atomic processes of aeronomic interest.The important role played by solar radiation in the excitation of the visible dayglow is illustrated in a detailed discussion of the emission of the (0, 0) negative band of N2+ and the red line (6300 A) of atomic oxygen in the dayglow.

“…In addition, we may neglect any contribution from the reaction involving NO + because of the spin constraints (Dalgarno and Walker 1964). Assuming, then, that the atoms in 'D State in addition to being depopulated by spontaneous transition are also deactivated by collision with molecular nitrogen, the volume emission rate of 01 6300 is given by ( Peterson et al, 1966;Rees et al, 1967;Forbes, 1970) A(6300) ( I(6300) = A + S N r N jK D°`^ 0 21 It is obvious that in addition to the knowledge of the rate coefficients it is necessary to know the altitude profiles for [Oz], LNOJ, N. , CO]and [N2].…”
