Scientific paper

Huffman et al. (1980) have reported the observation of significant intensities of the N2 Lyman-Birge-Hopfield (LBH) bands at midlatitudes at night. During the course of the 10-day Spacelab 1 mission, spectral observations were made of the atmosphere on both the dayside and nightside of the earth with the vehicle in various attitudes. The present investigation is concerned with an examination of selected data for evidence of the LBH nightglow. The considered data include far ultraviolet observations which were made on the nocturnal atmosphere at low latitudes and midlatitudes. The investigation confirms that the earlier reported LBH nightglow does appear to be generally present at the time of the Spacelab 1 mission.
