Sodium emission has been observed up to 1200 km above the subsolar limb of the Moon at third quarter. The intensity of the emission is far in excess of that predicted from the scale height and surface density derived previously from measurments of sodium emission at low altitudes above the lunar surface. This can be explained by assuming that there are both "hot" and "cold" components of the lunar sodium exosphere.
