Measurements of nitric oxide at 105 km by the ultraviolet nitric oxide experiment on Atmosphere Explorer C are presented. The amount of nitric oxide in the lower E region is shown to depend on latitude, longitude, and magnetic activity. Near the equator the density at the peak of the NO layer is typically about 2×107 cm-3 and varies little with longitude or magnetic activity, except during major storms. At high latitude (up to 68° geographic latitude), peak densities are typically 2 or 3 times larger and much more variable. A longitudinal dependence is found in both geographic and geomagnetic coordinates, with minimum densities found near 45°E geomagnetic longitude and maxima near 135°W geomagnetic longitude. At 40mD dip latitude the half amplitude is about 30%.
