Spectrometric airglow measurements during the solar eclipse of 26 February 1979 have yielded first-of-a-kind residual airglow spectra during the total phase of the eclipse. The temporal variations of the O2 infrared atmospheric features and the He multiplet at 1.083 microns are consistent with current excitation/emission models; however, the OH Meinel emission levels decreased almost monotonically by totality, in contrast with expectations based on most code predictions. Twilight transition, nightglow and auroral data were also acquired to characterize airflow conditions during the general timeframe of the eclipse. The twilight-transition results compare favorably with similar earlier measurement by other investigators.
