Measurements of 3P1→3P2 63 μm atomic oxygen (O I) emission in the earth's atmosphere obtained with a balloon-borne telescope and high-resolution Fourier transform spectrometer are presented. Three results emerge from analysis of this data: (1) the frequency of the O I 3P1→3P2 transition was determined to be 158.2693±0.003 cm-1; (2) the integrated line intensity of the atmospheric O I emission was determined to be 2.4±0.5×10-5Wm-2sr-1; and (3) the integrated line intensity of the atmospheric O I emission was found to be constant over a range of zenith angles corresponding to air-mass values between 1.27 and >20. The implications of these results on astronomical observations of O I emission are discussed.
