Simultaneous measurements of the 6300-A airglow intensity, the electron density profile, and F-region ion temperatures and vertical ion velocities taken at the Arecibo Observatory are utilized in the height-integrated continuity equation to extract the number of 6300-A photons emitted per recombination. After accounting for quenching of O(1D) and the electrons lost via NO(+) recombination, the efficiency of O(1D) production by dissociative recombination of O2(+) is determined to be 0.6 + or - 0.2, including cascading from the O(1S) state. The uncertainty includes both random measurement errors and estimates of possible systematic errors.
