Drastic improvement in the sensitivity of the Fabry-Perot interferometer was achieved by replacing or modifying the photomultiplier, interference filter, aperture diameter, and the pressure scanning systems. The instrumental improvements made it possible to observe for the first time the short wavelength depletion of the Balmer alpha spectral profile due to hydrogen escape. These results are shown to be consistent with the implications of OGO-5 observations by Bertaux (1978).
