Scientific paper

The vertical emission profile of the O2(a1Δg) airglow at 1.27 μm has been measured during the evening twilight near the equator (Alcântara, Brazil; 2.5°S, 44.2°W) using a rocket-borne infrared photometer. The profile is used to derive the vertical distribution of ozone between 60 and 86 km. The ozone profile shows a minimum concentration at 77 km and a secondary maximum of 1.34×108 cm-3 at 82 km. The height of the secondary maximum is lower than observed at midlatitudes, and the 77-km minimum is sharper than that which has been observed at low latitudes by satellite measurements.
