Scientific paper

The results from a detailed model of the multiple scattering of atomic oxygen radiation at 1304 A developed by Meier and Lee (1982) have been used to draw conclusions regarding the interpretation of 'holes' observed in the far ultraviolet airglow by the Dynamics Explorer 1 satellite. However, insufficient information has been published so far on the O I 1304 A airglow problem to warrant quantitative conclusions. In the present short paper, characteristics of the 1304 A radiation transport are described in more detail, emphasizing the origin of photons leaving the top of the atmosphere. It is argued that the 'hole' phenomenon cannot be the result either of depletions in thermospheric atomic oxygen or of persistent absorbing clouds within the atmosphere.
