Scientific paper

An observation technique for measuring exospheric atomic hydrogen density is proposed which involves using Fabry-Perot interferometer measurements of the geocoronal 6563-A emission in the plane of the solar azimuth to approximately isolate the singly scattered resonant fluorescent intensity of H-alpha. Hydrogen density profiles are obtained from 400 to 10,000 km altitude. The method improves upon the linear extrapolation of relative density variations from H-alpha intensity changes.
