Abstract

Observations of equatorial ionospheric emissions in the 800-1050-A spectral region have been made from the STP 72-1 satellite. Analysis of these data and comparison with data taken simultaneously in the 1220-1400-A wavelength range indicate a strong correlation between these emissions, as well as a pronounced dependence on season and dip latitude. Both nadir data and spin data are presented, and analyses of spin data indicate latitudinal variations of the F2 peak altitude. Theoretical calculations of emission in the 800-1050-A spectral region show that the data are consistent with radiative recombination of O(+) as a source of the observed emissions.
