The rate at which O(1S) is quenched in the atmosphere has been calculated as a function of altitude in the 75-115 km region. Recent measurements of the temperature-dependent O2 quenching rate coefficient have been used, while for quenching by O(3P), an expression combining new theoretical and experimental results is employed. For the O(3P) altitude profile, the Jacchia (1971) model is chosen. The quenching profile hows sa pronounced minimum quenching rate at about 87 km. It is concluded that different studies carried out on pulsating Type-B red aurorae, which extract an O(1S) quenching rate from the time lag between N2+(B-X) emission and 5577-Å emission, can now be interpreted as indicating an altitude range for these aurorae of 84-89 km. This conclusion is in accord with observations made on artificial aurorae.
